I cannot get this to work in RHEL5. It complains if I have it in
auto.master (syntax error), so I tried to place an entry in auto.misc
(for /misc). It will mount, but not with the context that I specified.
The logs mention that it is using genfs_contexts.
Looking at the mounts, I see that the options for the autofs mount point
include: context=""
So, the options are not getting passed to the mount command, or are
being overridden by automount. Any other ideas?
File a bug against autofs?
