[Bug 1050021] [NEW] autofs failed to mount .hidden

[Ales]

Public bug reported:

I use autofs to mount network drive via NFS (Ubuntu 12.04 with all
updates).

Configuration files:
 /etc/auto.master:
------------------------
 /media /etc/auto.nfs --timeout 10

/etc/auto.nfs:
----------------
myshare -fstype=nfs4,soft,intr 192.168.1.1:/

I made the directory /media/myshare in advance.

First a stopped service: "service autofs stop" and run "automount -f -v" to see its messages.
Than I tried to access /media/myshare.  ls is OK, mc from console too but when I do it with nautilus I get " failed to mount /media/.hidden" and nothing else happens. What is interesting, sometimes the first attempt works but the second fails and myshare directory is deleted!

This is the situation on Ubuntu 12.04. At the same time the same
configuration works perfectly on Kubuntu 12.04 with Krusader and
Dolphin. Any ideas or workarounds?

Note: what is wrong with autofs? There is an old "syntax error" bug
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autofs5/+bug/488696) that I
had to fix first and now this one I don't know what to do about.
