I have office where we have two servers. Server 1 is a CentOS 4.6 x86_64 
system. Server 2 is a CentOS 4.6 x86 system. Server 1 hosts a number of 
shares that are mounted via autofs. Here is a piece of the auto.share 
file from server 2 relating to my problem:

homes           -fstype=nfs             192.168.1.10:/share/homes

The problem I am seeing is that server 2 seems to mount and umount this 
share every minute or so as shown by the log excerpt below.

Feb 25 14:03:40 srv1 mountd[3151]: authenticated mount request from srv2:981 for /share/homes (/share/homes)


My google foo seems to be off this afternoon and I can't seem to find 
the cause. Anybody have any idea as to what might be causing the issue? 
The mount works correctly. I can see the data and all, I'd just really 
like to resolve this so my logs aren't such a mess and I'd like to 
understand what's causing it... Any help would be appreciated.
