Here I am having the same problem with our server since we upgraded them to 11.04 (natty):
-- cut here -- langner@mars:~$ ll /net/cns2/ ls: cannot access /net/cns2/: No such file or directory langner@mars:~$ ll /net/cns2/. ls: /net/cns2/./user: No such file or directory ls: /net/cns2/./astro: No such file or directory ls: /net/cns2/./NTOF: No such file or directory total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:08 NTOF drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:08 archive drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:08 astro drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:08 projects drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:08 user langner@mars:~$ ll /net/cns2/. ls: cannot access /net/cns2/./user: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /net/cns2/./astro: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /net/cns2/./NTOF: No such file or directory total 0 d????????? ? ? ? ? ?

The interesting part to not is, that when downgrading to kernel 2.6.35-30-server from 10.10 (Maverick) the problem instantly vanishes as you can see here: -- cut here -- langner@mars:~$ ll /net/cns2/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:12 NTOF drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:12 archive drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:12 astro drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:12 projects drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 30 15:12 user -- cut here -- Thus, I also suspect a kernel problem! Please also note that even upgrading to kernel 2.6.38-11-server which is still under development didn't solve the problem. In addition, please remove the incomplete status of this bug report as we should have supplied enough information here to get some more priority on the issue! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/768846 Title: autofs does not mount /net/host To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/768846/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
