See my previous message. It is exactly the FC2 autofs bug.

Any suggestions?
I've realised now that I misunderstood how automount works. I assumed
that when I plugged in my USB drive, the mount point would appear. Now I
realise that the mount point only appears on demand. So far so good.
But I have another problem. I can get automount to work for /dev/sda2 (a
vfat partion), but not for /dev/sda1 (ext3). When I try to access the
mountpoint, I get the error message "no such file or directory", and the
following appears in /var/log/messages:
localhost automount[5462]: mount(ext2): /dev/sda1: filesystem needs
repair, won't mount
If I mount /dev/sda1 manually, all is OK. I've also unmounted it and run
fsck which reported no problems with the partition.
So, 2 questions:
1. what might be causing the above error?
2. is there a way of getting the mountpoint to appear when I plug the
drive in, rather than on demand?
