Hi there, 

I hope this is the right place to post a issue we experience with autofs
on Linux Redhat 4.6.  
We are using indirect mount to mount different directories from the same
host at different depth level. 
Each directory is a separate file system on the file server.  File
server is a Sun Solaris 8. 
Here  my auto.master entry: 

cat auto.master: 
/data/gqssan1   /etc/auto.gqssan1 --ghost --timeout=60

I assume that I can specify a relative path name as "key" within my
mapfile: 

   key
       For indirect mounts this is the part of the pathname between the
mount-
       point  and the path into the filesystem mounted. Usually you can
think
       about the key as a subdirectory name below the mountpoint.

here is my mapfile entry: 

cat auto.gqssan1

1               -rw,soft,intr   stargeo:/data/gqssan1/1
...
30              -rw,soft,intr   stargeo:/data/gqssan1/30
GEOS/1       -rw,soft,intr   stargeo:/data/gqssan1/GEOS/1
GEOS/2       -rw,soft,intr   stargeo:/data/gqssan1/GEOS/2
GEOS/3       -rw,soft,intr   stargeo:/data/gqssan1/GEOS/3
GEOS/4       -rw,soft,intr   stargeo:/data/gqssan1/GEOS/4

At the very beginning everything seems to be fine. After about 10
minutes time,  I see another mount point 
with the same name within the very first one: 

[r...@ensv16im gqssan1]# cd /data/gqssan1/GEOS/
[r...@ensv16im GEOS]# ls -tlr
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x    6 root     root            0 Apr  8 00:03 GEOS
dr-xr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Apr  8 00:03 4
dr-xr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Apr  8 00:03 3
dr-xr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Apr  8 00:03 2
dr-xr-xr-x    2 root     root            0 Apr  8 00:03 1

I cd to both mount points and I see my file system mounte twice. 

[r...@ensv16im GEOS]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vg00/rootvol     7.8G  3.3G  4.2G  44% /

                      506G  149G  355G  30% /data/gqssan1/GEOS/GEOS/1


Am I correctly assuming that the "key" value may be a relative path as
well as a simple directory? 

Please help.
