Aha. Okay. This is actually what I suspected. Please try running this same command -- the first mount -- manually, mounting it to some /mnt/foo instead of /home/.pc. It should take significant amount of time too, becase, I guess, the server does not treat this mount request as good, or something like that. In other words, this is a problem of nfs server + nfs client, not automount, -- again, just guessing. Automount can't do anything except of trying to enforce some timeout, but again, it isn't really clear which timeout to enforce, since mount really can take some time - for example, when mounting some distant location etc. Maybe automount can be told to ignore some patterns like '.*' for example, I'll try to check this. > I tried to install autofs from the backports, but this > didn't work.

This is obviously not good. Thank you for the hint. I'll take a look at this. /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
