Indeed, a default install of karmic->autofs has DISABLE_DIRECT=1 in /etc/default/autofs This is also documented in /usr/share/doc/autofs/README.direct

The reason remains unclear to me after having looked at the last 4 package versions. This bug should be closed as invalid. -- AutoFS direct maps not working with NFSv4 exports https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/369682 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to autofs in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
