[SOLVED] [AUTOFS problem] dmesg: CIFS: Unknown mount option ghost

I use autofs on my laptop to mount my CIFS shares located on my home server. I use the --ghost option in the auto.master file because I want the folders to be visible all the time, no matter if they are mounted or not. But this doesn't seem to work for me...

Dmesg keeps on spewing "CIFS: Unknown mount option ghost" in its output.

The automounting works though, but I really need the folders to be visible.

Here are my auto.master and auto.smb files:

# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).

/mnt/autofs     /etc/autofs/auto.smb    --ghost

# auto.smb

data-server     -fstype=cifs,credentials=/home/hb/.smbcredentials       ://hb-server/data
download        -fstype=cifs,credentials=/home/hb/.smbcredentials       ://hb-server/download

Does anyone have any ideas to fix this rather annoying problem?

I found out there's a patch for this problem: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6936 (see comments)

Autofs works super now!
