Automounter problem

[Anil C. Sedha]

Hi. I have a database server which is getting hung if i try to login with any other id except root.

When, i login through root and try to kill a nfs mount which is already there it does not get killed. However, i am able to mount a new directory from another server. My NIS is on another server. I am now not able to kill some cron jobs too due to this and my server load is increasing.

MY ypwhich is also not starting due to this. I have tried doing fuser -kc, restarting nfs.client but it hangs during automount, then i tried killing nfs.core and restarting it.

pls help me asap.

do you have a hard NFS mount to a server that is down? This will cause all kinds of problems. You may also want to stop and restart your NIS services.

My server is up. Both NIS & NFS servers are the same. The problem giving server is also up. I am able to login into the server with this problem by "root".

Pls try to help me urgently
