PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
5939 root 25 0 27112 1556 952 S 97.2 0.0 3155:01 automount

when I restart autofs, I got error

Your assistance in this matter is very much appreciated. Thx.

And try to kill automount first before restarting autofs.

If you can't kill it, then a reboot is a must. Try to "kill -15 5885" and not "-9", where 5885 is the autmount pid as per above.
