I' have little experience with linux autofs. I can't help but keep noticing that files in /etc/ timestamps change periodically.
From documentation, my understanding is fstab is supposedly fixed(configured once).
Is it normal? Sometimes programs writing to file (mounted fs) failed randomly.(no such file or directory). I suspect some processes might be causing high load on nfs?
These are the files.
/etc/mtab
/etc/auto.fs
/etc/fstab
/etc/rsyncd.conf
Upon checking /var/log/messages, there are a lot of these with just 1 min apart.
autofs: automount startup succeeded
autofs: auto mount shutdown succeeded
autofs: automount startup succeeded
autofs: auto mount shutdown succeeded
