There was no file system activity at all. Basically, a file system was automounted by doing an ls and that was all. The failure occurs (it appears) when automount tries to do an expire. The automount maps look like: /etc/auto.master: /homes/gws /etc/auto.homes.gws -rw,intr,nosuid,nodev,strict /etc/auto.homes.gws: user1 xxx:/y/z/& user2 aaa:/b/c/& ...... Doing an "ls /homes/gws/user1" will succeed. Several minutes later during an expiration attempt the failures occur. Hope that helps.
