Hi,

I have a problem with autofs ( well I think is autofs related ).

Using fedora, kernel 2.6.4, autofs 4.1.1.

Set up a smb share and it works quite fine mounting and unmounting it.

The problem is that autofs seems not be able to umount the share when the
share became unavailable ( like stopping sharing the directory ).

When I'm in the share, and share goes away, autofs won't umount it, also if
timeout is expired.

(with previos version of autofs, I could see in message log all the
timeouts, so I assume it will try to umount the share).

If I do an ls it just give me a "ls: testdir: Invalid slot" until I manually
umount the share. ( I'm able to umount the share manually without forcing
and without any error )

When I umount the share manually autofs will continue to works regular, so
if I try to go in the share dir, and the share is not available,
it just give me a "-bash: cd: testdir: No such file or directory", until the
share became available and it mount.

Could someone help me to understand this behaviour ?
