AutoFS problem

[Juan Luis Morcillo_1]

Hi!

I rebooted a NFS server after patching and I forgot to stop one of the clients.
Now one of the autofs mount points appears as link with permission denied.
How can I restart autofs without rebooting?
Best regards,
Juan Luis

Autofs is started along with NFS. You need to shutdown and restart NFS:

Shut it down:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop

Check at this point to make sure it's down:
ps -ef |grep -i auto

Start it up:
/sbin/init.d/client start
/sbin/init.d/server start

Hi Juan Luis,

You should be able to resolve this simply by restarting the client processes:

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
