Description t35t0r 2007-01-21 18:50:35 UTC 
I'm using vanilla-sources-2.6.15 with automounter support enabled directly in the kernel. I can mount remote exports manually without problems.

1) Enable auto.net in /etc/autofs/auto.master and then start autofs
2) start autofs
3) cd /net/remoteHost/remoteDirectory

in /var/log/messages I get one of these for each of the directories exported from the remoteHost:

Jan 21 13:31:54 localhost automount[7494]: mount(bind): mkdir_path /net/remoteHost/etc failed: Operation not permitted

New maintainer, net-fs/autofs-5.0.3-r1 is now in the tree.

No feedback in well over a month, closing bug.
Comment 4 Jared Hancock 2009-01-11 20:04:11 UTC 
I too saw this with autofs 4.1.3 and gentoo-sources 2.6.27-r7. I was able to resolve the issue by disabling "Kernel automounter support" (CONFIG_AUTOFS_FS). Its documentation actually says that for newer autofs versions, enable the "Kernel automounter version 4 support" instead.

I had both enabled, and enabling only version 4 support fixed the issue.
