I just upgraded from Fedora 8 to Fedora 10
(2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64) on some of my machines and autofs seems
to be acting up. My server is running fc7.
I have ypbind and automount running on all clients and the clients seem
to be repeatedly sending mount/umount requests to the server on behalf
of users who are not even trying to log in. As a result I see home
directories getting mounted on the clients and getting unmounted all the
time. Is this a known problem? If so, is there a fix?

I'm not aware of a problem.
You probably should collect information as described at
http://people.redhat.com/jmoyer and log a bug. The debug log and autofs
maps are probably the most important bits initially.

This is most likely some application in F10 (like the gnome trash
daemon) that is triggerring lookups in the home directory. Automount,
in and of itself, doesn't usually try to do extra work. ;)
