Package: autofs
Version: 5.0.7-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I use autofs for /net to automount NFS dirs from servers.
When a dir is mounted via NFS from a server that is rebooted, I sometimes get
Stale NFS file handle. A simple 'umount -l' run by hand clears that error. But
it would be nice if autofs could deal with this.
The solution could be as crude as doing a stat on the automounted dirs now and
then, and if you get Stale NFS file handle do an 'umount -l'. You probably have
even better ideas.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

* What was the outcome of this action?
I had expected the dir to be available.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No error.
