That's what causes it. When you say that the "stored cached map entry must be left in place", you mean in the direct map file or the automount internal state ? If I re-load the automount (after removing the corresponding line in the map) while the mount is busy and move away from this mount, the timeout expires and the unmount occurs although it is not here anymore in the map file. Sorry, I didn't really get your answer :/ > Not really wanted behavior but it is what happens now. > I should be able to mark the cached map entry negative on re-load so it > doesn't trigger a mount while waiting to be cleaned up. What do you mean by "waiting to be cleaned up" ? To be unmounted or this is pure internal stuff ? In my test (reloading the map while having a busy mount), after the timeout, the unmount happens (that's what I understand as "to be cleaned up"), but I can still mount it after. Sorry to repeat myself, but I just want to be sure we're talking about the same behaviour. > The --ghost has no meaning for direct mounts, it isn't needed. Indeed ! Thank you for your answer !
