Indirect multi-mount map sometimes needs client reboot after update

[Andrew Klaassen <clawsoon@yahoo.com>]

I've got indirect multi-mount and single-mount maps set up in NIS like so:

auto.master:

/test auto.test --ghost

auto.test:

foo /    -tcp,intr server1:/foo \
    /bar -tcp,intr server2:/bar
abc      -tcp,intr server1:/abc

Changes to single-mount maps are picked up immediately by clients.

Changes to multi-mount maps are picked up:

1. Immediately if nothing under the key is currently mounted.

2. Only after an autofs restart - or sometimes even a reboot - after anything has been mounted under the key.

Is it possible to make #2 go away?  Having to reboot every single one of hundreds of client machines after a single change is a downer.

I'm running Centos 5.2 to 5.4 with autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.88 to autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.143.

Thanks.

Andrew
