SOLUTION SUMMARY:
Several people must be getting the same message because I received
quite a few me too's.
Thank you very much to Irana Whitaker-Patel <irana@hrwallingford.co.uk>
for searching the SunSolve database (to which I no longer have access
(Don't get me started!)).
Thanks,

SRDB ID: 7080
SYNOPSIS: console error:automountd[512]:dev xxxxxxx not in mnttab
DETAIL DESCRIPTION:
After automount is enabled on the system, the following messages
continuously display on the console:
"Mar 14 17:35:21 neptune automountd[512]: dev 2200023 not in mnttab"
The message just continues but the dev id increases by one each time.
Eventually, the system runs out of space because the messages file is
too big.
Also, df -k shows:
/usr/sbin/df: line in mnttab too many entries.
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
The particular error message shown above could be caused by a known
bug 1141121 (automountd cannot distinguish lofs mounts of same
filesystem)
if the loopback mount has been used.
But, if loopback mounts is not the case, check if the automount maps
follow the correct format precisely. Make sure the maps is good.
For example, the error message shown above can be easily reproduced if
user has the wrong format in the master map:
The auto_master contains the entries:
+auto_master
/nfs -hosts -t=50 -nosuid
/home auto_home
The documentation clearly states the format for the auto_master
contains three columns as follows:
Mount-point Map Mount-options
When the map in the example is changed to:
+auto_master
/nfs -hosts -t=50,nosuid
/home auto_home
df and automounter quit complaining.
