Dear autofs community, We run an instance of the automount daemon inside a container (a part of a storage plugin in Kubernetes). The autofs mount root is shared between different containers, and must survive restarting the daemon. The problem is that when the daemon exits, it tries to clean up all its mounts -- including the autofs root, so there is nothing to reconnect to. At the moment, we're getting around the issue by sending it a SIGKILL upon the daemon container exit, which skips the mount cleanup, leaving it available for reconnect when the container comes back. While this works nicely for the moment, we don't want to rely on some random signal which may be handled differently in the future, and I didn't see anything in the options that would explicitly skip mount clean up at exit. Would you accept a patch that adds a dedicated command line flag for this? Cheers, Robert Vasek
