But of course one of the main points of a kernel-based autofs is to avoid
mount storms. Try doing something like "ls -l" or even "ls -f" in your
/home directory and have a storm bunker ready. :) Not to mention funky and
newbie-friendly things like file managers, which cause precisely the same
kind of mount storms.
Solaris got at least this part right with its two-step lookup/mount
requests.
