Description of problem: I use autofs to mount /home and /net in my intranet. It works all ok if haldaemon is disabled, mount points are umounted after the configured autofs timeout and mounted again when needed. So far so good. But if I enable haldaemon, then after the mount points have been umounted after the autofs timeout, they are immediately mounted again. This makes the autofs timeout pretty much useless as the mount points are mounted all the time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5 with available updates. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start haldaemon 2. Access some autofs mounted mount points 3. See server logs how mount points are then umounted/mounted endlessly Actual results: Constant umount/mount events. Expected results: Mount points mounted only when needed/accessed. Additional info: Might have some relevance with bug 191863. Turning off haldaemon is not very feasible as I use GNOME / X on my laptop all the time. I am able and willing to test possible experimental autofs RPMs that might be made available.

I have a fix going in soon.
