You may be interested in the "--ghost" option described in the automount man page. It causes autofs to create the target directory as soon as the daemon starts, but not mount it unless accessed. That way the path would be available all the time as per your assumption. -- Joke template: Three guys walk into a bar. One of them is a wee bit stupid, and the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability.
