Package: autofs
Version: 4.1.3+4.1.4beta2-7
Severity: normal
When ghosting a directory, autofs fails to mount an unmounted mount
unless the directory itself is accessed. For instance, when
/usr/local is a map, and bin/ is unmounted, a ghosting autofs will not
mount bin/ if you access bin/foo.
I've worked around this in two ways, first an ls /usr/local/bin will fix
it temporarily, causing bin to be mounted. Second, removing ghosting
fixes it. However, I'd really like to have ghosting available.
