Wrong(tm). autofs AND mounting at the commandline just say: mount.nfs: /mnt is already mounted or busy Which has an actual information value of about 1%. In my case i moved a nfs exported directory inside another nfs-exported directory month ago and placed a symlink where the direcotry was (on the server-side). It never acured to me that that was "wrong"(tm). Now i can only mount one of the two mounts and the other just tells "busy". After reading this i could fix my case easyly. I just erased the "deeper" mount and symlinked the directory from the other mount. But YOU HAVE TO KNOW THAT YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG. Just getting a "Busy" lets you staying with Question-marks flying around you head!
