Is there a way to attach a debugger to the automount process that gets

Nothing that will help in this situation. All the mount/umount is done in userspace by the daemon.

I couldn't figure out how to attach to the user space code either. I.E. I wanted to step through get_best_mount() but wasn't able; still would like to know how to do that.

That's a bit hard.
There are a couple of reasons. First lots of stuff is done in sub-proccesses, second the exe is usually a position independent exe.


I haven't got around to fixing the debug compile options to see if I can remedy that.

But then I do all my debuging with debug prints.

Have you tried the patch?

Ian
