Description of problem: autofs packages currently install an auto.master that lists two mount points: /misc and /net. /net is probably reasonable but /misc seems redundant - the auto.misc file that it refers to contains an entry to automatically mount /dev/cdrom on /misc/cd, but this functionality is already provided by hal. Basically the line that says /misc /etc/auto.misc should be removed from /etc/auto.master. The commented out line saying #/misc /etc/auto.misc --timeout=60 should be left in, but there's no point having two commented out /misc entries that hardly differ. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-4.1.4-5 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install autofs; start service 2. Check the mount points that automount is running on 3. ls /misc/cd Actual results: automount runs on /misc and provides an alternative way to mount /dev/cdrom, but without being aware of whether the device actually exists or is the only CD drive, or even the only removable media. Expected results: Removable media should be handled by HAL, which does a better job. autofs shouldn't be getting involved with this unless the user wants to configure it to.
We take the upstream defaults. Please report your concerns at autofs.org. Thanks.
