I'm talking about the autofs filesystem (actually the autofs4 module).

yep.

I'm not really concerned about whether bind and move mounts work or not. I
just need to establish whether these should be supported and if so, how
they should work so I can resolve the problem. Personally, I would be
happy to say these types of mounts are not supported by autofs if I could
veto the requests.

atm I can easily panic the kernel. As I said, it would be fairly easy to
fail silently but ....

There's not much in it but see:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4589

Sorry that my initial post was unclear and perhaps incomplete but mostly
people are not that familiar with automounting and often they don't really
want to know about it. I guess they have their own priorities.

Thanks for your interest.
