Hi Ian, Thanks for the quick reply. 2 more questions: 1. Is the "nohide" bug exposed even when using NFSv3 (NFSv3 client mounting the nohide nfs server export) 2. from the bug #448038 details I can see a patch for this has already been accepted and will go into RHEL-5. When?
I have already filed a bug regarding the gnome-vfs, but I do not know whether I should also mention the autofs errors. I do not need NFSv4 right now - I just wanted to prepare my NFS servers for v4 - so I introduced the nohide option. For sake of safety, I have removed this option for now.
