Hi,
sorry for the delay I didn't get to check this yesterday.
I have the following maps:
/etc/auto.master:
/- /etc/auto.direct
/etc/auto.direct:
/home/timo 192.168.178.187:/mnt
The IP is actually the local IP, therefore I get bind mounts instead of NFS
mounts.
Here is what I am doing:

There is no logentry when I umount the directory and then also nothing when I
try the ll /home/timo
My Kernel version is:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 15:11:19 EDT
2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED] autofs-5.0.1]# automount -V
Linux automount version 5.0.1-0.rc2.17
Directories:
config dir: /etc/sysconfig
maps dir: /etc
modules dir: /usr/lib/autofs
Compile options:
DISABLE_MOUNT_LOCKING ENABLE_IGNORE_BUSY_MOUNTS WITH_HESIOD WITH_LDAP
WITH_SASL
Another thing I realized is that it still does expired the mount after the
timeout period even if I try to access it it the meantime. After the expiration
it does the mount again and everything is working again.
So a workaround seems to be to choose fairly small timeouts. Is there any
minimum time out that should be used? Are there any performance affects if I
choose very small timeouts?
Thanks for your help,
Timo
