Automounter

[Sander van Dinten]

I get the following message:
automount: fork a child process to delete an entry from /etc/mnttab

Is this normal behaviour?

Hi,
Yes, I believe that's the message you get when automount unmounts a file system.
From the man page :
+ If the file system is not accessed within an appropriate
interval (five minutes by default), the daemon unmounts the
file system and removes the symbolic link.
