Description of problem:
Failed to mount /home on boot, when run mount -a or mount the /home fs manually,
mounts /home on /usr partition, then on correct partition.  Umount umounts both.
 STRANGE!


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I think this is obvious if your system manifests this problem.  I have no idea
why is would happen on my system and not on another.  I didn't tweek anything,
this is a plain vanilla RH8 install.

You're running autofs, which is trying to handle /home. Turn it off
