I am using autofs to access shares on a Windows XP machine from a Kubuntu AMD64 machine. The problems applies in both Breezy and Dapper.

When I first try to access the mount point via cd or in Konqueror it does not exist. However, if I then restart autofs (/etc/init.d/autofs restart) everythin then works OK. My config files are:

auto.master

# Sample auto.master file
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
#/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60
#/misc /etc/auto.misc
#/net /etc/auto.net

/petunia /etc/petunia.misc --timeout=60
