We are using autofs for mounting home directories, but are experiencing
two major problems wrt unmounting NFS mounts:

1) The umount command indicates that the umount succeeded, but even so, 
the NFS export is still mounted. This can be confirmed by looking in 
/etc/mtab and /proc/mounts. 

2) Home directories are not umounted after the specified idle time. 

We are running autofs-3.1.7-36 on RedHat 9, with kernel 2.4.20-30.9smp.  
The mount version is 2.11y. The NFS server is Novell Netware 6.0sp3. Our
auto.master looks like:

/home   program:/opt/thinlinc/libexec/tl-nds-mountpath nfsvers=2,hard,intr

(tl-nds-mountpath is a small program which returns the path to the Netware 
server that has the users home directory.)

Any ideas? This is a major problem for us, since it's not possible to have 
more than 800 NFS mounts or so.
