hi, i notice that failed attempts to access an autofs managed mountpoint result in a sort of "black hole" period of somewhere around thirty seconds, during which time the media cannot be accessed.
after this "black hole" period has expired, handle_packet() suddenly... just... wakes up! up until that time, any attempts to do an ls /media/floppy are just... ignored. what's goin on? ta, l.
