Delete an alias in /automount/Servers

[cticompserv]

I have an alias to a retired server in /automount/Servers that I'd like to delete, however, when I try 'rm /automount/Servers/server_alias' I get a message stating it's read-only filesystem. Permissons on the Servers directory are dr-xr-xr-x.

If I try 'ls -l /automount/Servers/' there is a brief pause then I start getting the repeated message 'nfs server automount -fstab 398: not responding'

How can I delete this alias?

changing the permissions of the alias to give yourself write permissions under superuser?

sudo chmod 777 /automount/Servers/servername

Well, I've been trying to delete it as the superuser so the permissions shouldn't matter. I changed the permissions on the alias to 777 as you suggested but it still won't delete.
