I upgraded my entire OS from Fedora 5 to 8. By slow, I mean around 20 seconds
to detect and mount. There are too many variables. I was hoping it would be a
simple polling flag that could be switched in autofs. I can live with the
slower time. I did notice that it took a long time only when I physically
removed the drive and re-inserted the drive. When I use the "umount" command
and not remove the drive, I can quickly change directory back to drive and it
mounts in like 2 seconds at most. Thanks for the help.
