Hi!
It's kind of silly and an abuse of the VFS, I agree. Unfortunately, it's
been around for a while, it works on other systems and real people are
using it. And they get a nasty surprise when they try it on Linux: the
amd-provided NFS filesystems cannot be unmounted, because the VFS

And do a mount onto it while the kernel is waiting for revalidation? I'm
sorry, but that makes it even more dependent on the

Hi Alan,
The patch included below allows the kernel to unmount a filesystem whose
root entry is a symlink.
Let me give you a bit of background. In addition to more common 2-level
indirect mounts (also provided by autofs), amd allows for the so-called
"direct mounts". They are implemented by
