I'm running into this bug as well on 16.04.5 I've tried the autofs.service (SystemD) solution. I've tried the startup scripts in the rc.local and it "seems" to work most of the time, but not really ideal.

The problems applies in both Breezy and Dapper. EDIT: confirmed with similar configuration on Intrepid with a NetApp filer hosting NFS. Server OS removed from summary. When I first try to access the mount point via cd or in Konqueror it does not exist. However, if I then restart autofs (/etc/init.d/autofs restart) everythin then works OK.
