[autofs] sgi IRIX-6.5 autofs

[Greg Bradner]

I have a situation on IRIX where I am stat'ing a filesystem that is not 
exported to the IRIX system.  The syslog says 'permission denied'.  
That's expected.  Since the directory I'm in has 600 links to the file 
system that is not exported, autofs keeps trying to mount and keeps 
getting 'permission denied'.

On linux I get 'permission denied', but it doesn't try to mount again 
for 30 minutes.

Has anyone heard of such a problem with IRIX's autofs and is there a fix?
Why does linux only try every 30 minutes?
TIA.
