Hi, I have the impression we are speaking of different issues here. If we're dealing with more than one bug I think we need to file separate bug reports. I'll try to recap:

1. This bug was originally opened as Thomas Schweikle was surprised by the fact that autofs tries to find .xdg-volume-info and autorun.inf. Christian explained that this is likely done on purpose. Thomas didn't complain about autofs ignoring the map file.

2. brownboyjohn says that the issue is valid and that autofs ignores the map file, and that this didn't happen before. To me it looks like "autofs ignores the map file" is a different issue. If this it the case, it deserves its own bug report, explaining when it did stop working, as far as it is possible to tell.

3. brownboyjohn also notes that the automount daemon leaves stale mounts when stopped. This is yet another issue I think, but before calling it a bug we need to make sure that the mountpoints were not busy when the automount service got stopped. There is no way it can unmount busy mounts I'd say, but I'm not familiar with the package.

Waiting for more information I'm setting this report to Incomplete.
