hi ya david
if you are on crir-a136.univ-savoie.fr...
i am assuming oyu do want to automount the local /data/etc.tgz to itself
and unmount when not in use...
when you manually mount /data ... what files do you see
that is not visible when automounting with autofs ??
i am assuming your mchine only has one file
crir-a136.univ-savoie.fr:/data/etc.tgz
than your ls -la /autofs shows the correct result
and your ls -la /autofs/data showed the correct result
or ls -la /autofs/* will show the same result above
if you were expecting more than etc.tgz to be listed,
than we'd need to find out what else is missing/broken
( probably a permission problem ob the other files
have fun
