I also had this problem with autofs4-4.0.0pre10-504 from SuSE 8.2/9.0. I upgraded to the latest version (4.1.0 when I upgraded; now I think it's 4.1.2), and not only are filesystems unmounted as expected, but other alarming symptoms in the logs are gone. As for /net/home (this is the map you were complaining about, right?), possibly Nautilus has a compulsion to check for something at the top level of every mounted filesystem. If /net/home were "browsable", i.e. if you do "ls /net/home" and get all 150 loginIDs, likely it would proceed to stat those names (e.g. /net/home/jimc), requiring that they be actually mounted. It doesn't have to stat them just to see the names, but if it wants to know if they are directories, or if they are owned by you, then it needs to do the stat, and therefore the mount. See if you can forbid browsability on the "home" map. To turn it on, I believe the correct syntax is to put "--ghost" (or -g? Or just "ghost"?) among the mount options in /etc/auto.master, so that command line arg will be passed to the submount. (Someone please correct this if wrong.) So you would be looking for that option and removing it. James F.
