Many thanks for looking into this.

I guess a "quick reproducer" means that I have to set up 2 fresh 22.04 installs, and then do a minimal configuration of one as a server (provide NFSv4 share) and on the other install as a client (pull in NFSv4 share via autofs mount). This would take some time. I can try to do it, but not right now.

What I did now: In my existing configuration, I bypassed the LDAP mechanism on the client by a direct entry in /etc/auto.master (and commenting out the LDAP ones). Still the same problem.

Also, I had a look into the sources of autofs-5.1.8-1ubuntu1. If I'm not completely mistaken, the patch which I linked above is not present. Therefore, I guess the bug reported (and fixed) on the autofs mailing list is present in Ubuntu 22.04 (as it uses the unpatched autofs 5.1.8), no matter if it is indeed the cause of my problems or not.

So I think it would make sense in any case to either apply the patch posted in the mailing list, or to go back to autofs version 5.1.7.
