Hello,

I'm running some tests against AutoFS 5 and when I set a mount
point with a short expire timeout (let's say 2 minutes), I'm observing
the following behavior:

- Keeping an open file in the mount point will prevent it to expire.
  This is expected, of course, as the file system is busy.
- Setting a cron job to run "ls" or read some file from the mount point
  won't prevent the file system to expire and be unmounted after
  the 2 minutes timeout. This comes a bit as a surprise to me, as
  I was expecting every access to files in the mount point to reset
  the expire timeout.

Question is: what operations (if any) resets the expiration timeout?

Thanks,
Leonardo
