There was a long thread a few months ago about this subject:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=106332683300004&r=1&w=2

and

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=106340013500006&r=1&w=2

I've read the posts but as far as I can tell, I can't find a 'solution'
to the problem (but I may have missed it in all the posts!)

I have the same problem with a large number of dual CPU machines running
2.4.20 and above that make heavy use of autofs (v4.0.0pre10).

We get a:

VFS: Busy inodes after unmount. Self-destruct in 5 seconds.  Have a nice
day...

mesasage, followed some time later by Oops's from kswapd, umount or some
other user application.

Is there a 'fix' for this problem?

Thanks

James Pearson
