CIFS - unable to remount mount point

[Mogamat Thompson_1]

The customer is experiencing the following.

He is attempting to remount to his CIFS mount (after the timeout) point but is unable to do so.

He gets the following error. ". not found"
or gets an empty directory.

he then has to umount CIFS
and then remount by executing fs automount -v.

He wants to know why this is happening and can he do to rectify this problem.

Thanks

Hi all,

Just to clarify the porblem explained by Mogamat:

I have installed Enhanced AutoFS on one of my servers running HP-UX 11.11. I configured the /etc/auto.direct.cifs map file as per the admin guide. The CIFS filesystem mounts correctly using autofs, but when the CIFS filesystem is unmounted after the inactivity period has expired, the filesystem is not unmounted correctly.

Here is the output which I got in the trace file /var/adm/automountd.log after switching on tracing for autofs:

Jun 25 14:02:43 (thread 21) unmount /FTP/CIFS OK
Jun 25 14:02:43 (thread 21) UNMOUNT REPLY : status=0

But the cifslist command still shows the filesystem as mounted:

=========================================================================
server dmc_plz_csfs01:
=========================================================================
Remote Username: CIFSGUEST Local Username: root

Share: \\DMC_PLZ_CSFS01\CIFS
rw /FTP/CIFS

The problem is that when the CIFS filesystem needs to be mounted the next time a user accesses the /FTP/CIFS mountpoint and does an ll the output is:

. not found

The entry in the cifs trace is as follows

Anybody know what the problem could be?
