Also a good suggestion.
I'll include that too.


Yes, as I said above.

I don't expect that people that aren't close to the development of
autofs will "get" the problem description in the leading post but I will
try and expand on it as best I can.

As for the possible alternatives, it sounds like I have some more work
to do on that. Mount options can't be used as I described in the lead in
post and, as far as my understanding of sysfs goes, I don't think it's
appropriate. But, I'm not aware of what the netlink interface may be
able to do for me so I will need to check on that.
