Re: 2.4.0-test1-ac19 autofs expiration broken

Greetings! Sounds like it may be similar to a problem I had a while
back. I submitted a patch to the list, which was accepted in the
Debian potato package, but AFAIK hpa hasn't yet had time to look at.
In any case, nested automounts work fine for me now with this patch.

I had another issue which I haven't chased down yet: symlinks on a
particular box aren't being expired, and this reduces to lstat failing
to show the link and reporting "no such file". As this seemed to
happen only on one box so far, I haven't finished chasing this
one down.

Take care,
