I reported on both kernel.org and on am-utils.org that autofs and amd do
not work with F12's kernel in March/April of 2010 (kernel.org bug 15878
and am-utils bug 639). No one has acknowledged or worked on the bug, as
far as I can tell on the respective bugzillas.
I don't remember seeing any mail on that bug even though I'm on the cc
list for it.
In any case, it's asking for the autofs module to be built as default
which isn't likely to happen since, even at that time, the autofs module
was going to be removed from the kernel.
It (autofs3) still exists as an option in F14 (if we build our own
kernel), but doesn't seem to work either as a module or compiled into the
kernel (it did work in F12). If there were a way for amd to work with
autofs4, that'd be great, but it doesn't.
But the autofs4 module should be able to be used for autofs kernel
protocol version 3. It may require some changes in user space and, since
the v3 protocol in autofs4 hasn't been tested for so long, there may be
some other bugs that need fixing.
Problem is that amd I believe specifically looks for autofs3 (even though
the code says minimum autofs version 3, it fails to work with autofs4).
And since no one is responding to the bug I put in about that, and the
last time code was released for amd was in 2005, amd using autofs on the
current F14 kernel seems to dead.
