Hi,

as it is explicitly stated in the README.v5.release, autofs filesystem
mounts do not show up in /etc/mtab, only in /proc/mounts.

Currently df from coreutils cannot detect the filetype of an autofs
filesystem for this reason. I know that this could possibly be fixed by
using information grom statfs(2), but there are people who refuse this
change and want autofs filesystems to be visible in /etc/mtab
(you might want to take a look at
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333296)

So, as the change is explicitly stated, I guess, the change has been
done on purpose. Does someone know the reason?

Thanks,
Matthias
