Hi, I think this is a bug - if it is not, I will be glad if someone corrects me. I am using autofs on Gentoo.
In auto.master, put /mnt/test /etc/auto.test --ghost In auto.test, put floppy -fstype=auto :/dev/fd0 (or anything similar) 1. start autofs 2. see that /mnt/test/floppy exists 3. remove / comment out the "floppy" line in auto.test 4. send SIGHUP to autofs After these actions, in autofs 5.0.4 / 5.0.5 (but not 5.0.3), /mnt/test/floppy still exists - it is not removed after SIGHUP. This is problematic, for example, when auto.test is maintained via udev. Full restart of a service from a udev-invoked script is very error-prone.
