Actually, that does work - thanks. Sadly, unlike Jaunty, autofs seems to "hang-on" to the share it creates, which in turn causes the dreaded "no response from server" message (and its associated 80 second hang) when shutting down or restarting. You'll only see this if you use wireless.

No sign of a fix for that any time soon, although I've just subscribed to the network manager mailing lists where I might ask why network manager shuts down its wireless connections instantly on shutdown/restart, but keeps ethernet connections open for so long.

i wouldn't mind if network manager honoured the /etc/init.d scripts order, but network manager drops the connection whole seconds before even the first such script is run. Hopefully one of the devs can point me in the right direction.

Not sure if this bug (in autofs) can be considered closed or not based on this find.
