In the auto.master file you can specify parameters that should be passed to automount. --timeout is passed correctly but other supported parameters aren't (--ghost, --verbose). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add --ghost on one of the lines in auto.master 2. Run ls on the mount point specified in that line 3. Actual Results: You will see an empty directory Expected Results: You should see ghosted directories I can see in the autofs initscript that it is hard coded to look for -t and --timeout and pass them to automount. It should have a list of automount parameters to look for

I'm working on this still, but it's a pain to parse :-(.
Ok, this is fixed now. I totally revamped the init script. Now supports current daemon options. Also cleanup all usage of unsafe sub-shells. It also runs a lot faster ;-). Please test it and report back. If it works out after 2 weeks, I'm going to mark 4.1.3-r4 stable. 4.1.4_beta2 is out, and has bundled a testing gentoo ebuild, and a different init script (looks to be based off one of the way older versions). I'll look at it later, and integrate it when 4.1.4 comes around, as 4.1.4 has some new features and things.
Seems to work. Lovely!
