+ /** If true, then the behaviour of hald matches the use of
+ * autofs (automount - /etc/auto.hal) instead of a static
+ * fstab expectations.
+ *
+ * Basically it doesn't keep on generating mount notifications
+ * just because autofs automatically unmounts a volume, which
+ * would get _excruciatingly_ boring for users when the autofs
+ * timeout is set to oh, say, two seconds.
+ */

changelog:

  - added new config option "autofs_in_use" to hald.conf please think of a
    better name!

Possibly also handled by:

hal (0.5.7.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/16_dont_stat_autofs.patch:
    - Added. Don't stat autofs filesystems as that will remount.
