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!
