The autofs that comes with RHEL5 won't mount Lustre. We got it working with autofs-5.0.3-36, from some version of Fedora. Later versions of autofs should also work. The fix to autofs is almost trivial. A function scans the mount command to make sure it contains just "legal" characters. To get Lustre to automount, it needs "@" in it's list of such. We did find that the automounter sometimes failed to remove the Lustre record from /etc/mtab on unmounting the file system. That would cause subsequent remounts to fail. Another easy fix: link /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts.
