- I am trying to run automount on our DECstation 3100, running Ultrix
- 4.2. When I start up automount, it seems to run fine, and it provides
- access to the directories I told it about on wuarchive.wustl.edu and
- gatekeeper.dec.com. However, when I then go away and do other work,
- automount will hang in a D state (as reported by ps) and attempts to
- access either the / directory with ls, or any of the NFS mounted
- directories handled by automount with ls, hangs. In fact I am unable
- to regain control of my terminal, so I have to log in on another
- terminal. The ls processes are also hung in D state, and can't
- be killed. Nor can the automount process be killed.
-
- The only way to fix automount and remove the hung processes is to
- reboot.
-
- What am I doing wrong?
-
- Here are the direct maps I'm using, in case some clue is in there:
-
- # direct map for wuarchive.wustl.edu
- # & is replaced by key
- #
- # KEY OPTIONS SOURCE
