No arguments there... but our users really need this feature.  I don't think it is reasonable to expect users to navigate blindly through hundreds or thousands of auto-mounted filesystems.  For home directories it is easy since the user knows her own username.  For automounted data directores it becomes a big problem.

I don't think any of the other commercial Unices have this feature either so it's not a 'linux' problem.   It would be great to roll this feature into linux autofs though, assuming that it is fairly stable.

Wishful thinking doesn't create properly designed software. Note that I'm not cracking these patches (or autofs v4 either) -- they *might* work fine, but as far as I know neither have been through that kind of grinder.
