I'll dig into that. Well, that would be great, but I don't think that has a great future. It tends to fall through the cracks, and is extra work, and makes debian differ from the standard distro without good hope of getting the behaviour in. > Oh well. But heck, we can't do that for wheezy at least :) I switched to amd for most of my boxes. For the ones where I can't, I switched to this (no kidding) to start automount: /usr/bin/perl -i -pe 's%/tmp/aut%\x01/\x03/\x05/\x07\x00%g' /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/autofs/mount_bind.so that breaks the test for bind mounts so it thinks bind mounts do not work. That works fine for me as I haven't found any use for bind mounts yet, but have lots of problems (as reported, but not being able to unmount local filesystem without ALSO taking care of automount is annoying as wlel :). (I did consider going back to automount using this hack, because amd does not have working multi-maps (but my config fortunately doesn't rely on those yet), and with this hack, it works for me). > Now, having said all that, maybe it is a stupid idea to ask you for some > testing/comments on the new package I created, preliminary version of > stuff I want to upload, located at http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/tmp/autofs/ ? Well, I have the obligation to test :) I'll install it later and see if I can replicate the test (maybe give me a few days :). > Thank you for your patience (or lack thereof)! :) Well, my guess is that many automount users don't have long-term patience - they usually have to administrate a flock of boxes that just need to work somehow :) My primary motivation for reporting bugs is to make them known, either for others to learn about their status when they hit the same issue, or to get them fixed. If I sounded like demanding a fix, then that wasn't my intention, sorry for that!
