Thanks, this fixed the crash issue.

However, it seems automount is still taking priority on direct access if
a mount point is activated.

If my /etc/fstab says:
/dev/hda1 /home

and /etc/init.d/autofs status says:
/usr/sbin/automount /home/graves ldap
ou=auto.home.graves,ou=autofs,dc=village,dc=inria,dc=fr

Any attempt to access /home/graves on graves host will mount it through
autofs, and access it through NFS, masking local filesystem and probably
wasting resources.

If however /etc/fstab has exactly the same mount point defined, it seems
the init script correctly filter it (it is configured, but not
activated), preventing the issue.

Is this expected behaviour ?
