I installed autofs, configured it to auto-mount removable devices like cd-rom, cd-recorder, floppy under /var/autofs/console/
I have put the following symlinks in / : cdrec -> /var/autofs/console/cdrec cdrom -> /var/autofs/console/cdrom floppy -> /var/autofs/console/floppy now when I do a 'ls /' the kernel always tries to mount these three devices. Why is this happening? 'ls' is aliased to 'ls --color=auto' in my .bashrc. Strange enough, when i invoke '/bin/ls /' (that means 'pure' ls without any option) this doesn't happen. Why? Radu
