Hi,

I have the problem that I have an indirect mount in 
"/var/lib/vz/root/500/media/media". Unfortunately this directory does 
not always exists (particulary not on system startup).

The directory exists as soon as another filesystem 
"/var/lib/vz/root/500" is mounted. I have the possibility to execute a 
script when that filesystem is mounted and umounted.

Do I have the possibility to add/remove this indirect mount somehow "on 
the fly"?

So I would start autofs without that particular indirect mount and add 
it only as soon as /var/lib/vz/root/500 is mounted. Before it is 
unmounted, the indirect mount could be removed as well.

Regards,
Luke
