Like Jeff says, you need autofs4. You should make sure that the autofs4 module is being loaded, not the autofs module. If your using a later init script it will explicitly load the module, but only if one isn't already present (so rmmod autofs before startup should make things work). Another way to prevent being caught is to "alias autofs autofs4" in your modules configuration (at least I think that's the order, it's been a while since we've had this problem reported). > > On the ftp server of kernel.org I found 5.0.3 patches from January, but > that seems quite old to me.

The version 5 patch series is located at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/v5. See patch_order-5.0.3 also. The patch list is quite large. The git repo is at: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/storage/autofs/autofs.git The kernel patches in the repo are usually not up to date but, as I'm wanting to release 5.0.4, they are at the moment.
