Hello Ian,
I think the 'ghosting' feature is vital to interoperability between Linux
and Solaris systems.

Does "ghosting" mean, you can still see the mountpoints when they are being held onto by autofs, but not yet mounted?

If that's what it is, I need it really bad - I have quite a few niewbies that would really be helped out if they could, for example, ls /media and still see floppy, cdrom in there.

autofs is NOT the proper tool for media!

As far as "ghosting" (inode spoofing) it is highly questionable if it can be implemented at all without introducing races in the filesystem.
