>Description:
NFS in 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 (and, from looking at CVS) 2.2 also) has
problems doing the stuff necessary for AMD to do direct mounts.  This
makes AMD nearly useless in real-world automount configurations which
nearly always have some direct mounted filesystems.

It would be a shame if 2.2 would be the third release of FreeBSD to
go out with this bug, especially since there have been patches 
aparently widely available to fix this...
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I have patches against 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 that fix this.  We are using
several FreeBSD machines in very large automount configurations with
these patches.  I didn't author these patches, but I do know they
work.  I will be glad to send them to the maintainer.
