I think that I might have found the culprit - a hung copy command to an
automounted directory.
The only trouble is that I cannot kill the process with a kill -9, and I
cannot stop the automounter with "service autofs stop" as it says that
the device is busy.
an lsof /store (the automounted directory) just hangs.
Any ideas how I kill this process and restart the automounter?
Regards
