Yup,

  The [EMAIL PROTECTED] sys admin of my home machine, (that's me,)
decided to fool the automounter into using '/' to mount his
partiions on and lost his entire filesystem.  Pouff,
everything that was not a mounted partition gone!!!  Now I
realize that I shouldn' have been deceitfull to the poor
little autofs daemon, I told hime to use '/.' since he
balked at '/', but did I really deserve this?

So a few questions:

   1) Why does the automounter delete files (or entire filesystems)? 

   2) How can one go about automounting a cdrom on /cdrom?

   3) Should this be fixed? i.e. if it's bad to use slash, then
      should any other path that works out to be slash be checked
      also? :)

   4) Are my files really gone?  Is there anything I can do to
      recover? (it is an ext3 fs, not ext2)     


  Still weeping/laughing,
