Why is automount taking up lots of CPU time?
umount is a fairly expensive operation, and automount does it regularly. If you find that automount is taking up too much CPU, and you have all the listed automount and NFS patches installed, you are probably running into the limitations of your current setup. You can work around it by increasing the timeout value of automount (this is the length of time before automount will unmount an unused partition). On a SunOS machine, edit the automount line of /etc/rc.local. The following line increases the automount timeout to 3600 seconds, or 60 minutes: automount -tl 3600 && echo -n ‘ automount’ On a Solaris machine, edit the automount line of /etc/init.d/autofs. The following line increases the automount timeout to 3600 seconds, or 60 minutes: /usr/sbin/automount -t 3600 # do mounts The above two fixes are only workarounds. Your system probably will still have some performance problems which SunService is unable to help you resolve. Sections 8.0 and 9.0 explain your alternatives in this cas
