But does it _matter_ that the thing is mounted or dismounted as a unit? And if so, why? > In v4 that are mounted and umounted as a unit to deal with the nesting. Why does the automounter daemon have to do the mounting of submounts? What's wrong with having the kernel do it? The one problem with having the kernel do it that I can see, is that the kernel doesn't update /etc/mtab. Note that rather than manually mounting the submounts, you could just open and close those directories as that should cause them to automount - though the xdev mountpoints will expire and become automatically unmounted after a certain period.
