GNU find will not recognize file systems of type autofs on newer Linux kernels as autofs entries are only listed in /proc/mounts and mountlist.c includes glibc mntent.h which takes the _PATH_MOUNTED from paths.h and that is /etc/mtab.
After a longer discussion, we (SUSE) chose to patch mountlist.c in findutils to use proc/mounts instead of /etc/mtab which fixed ou problem. Would gnulib accept the attached patch to mountlist.c? Philipp
