Re: autofs only mounting one fs at a time.

Ah, updating to unstable seems to have resolved the- only one device at 
a time problems.

And the multiple partition thing is working now that I found out
"-fstype=auto,sync,rw,uid=1000,gid=100" doesn't play nicely with my 2nd 
ext3 partition (1st is vfat):

dmesg:
EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "uid=1000" or missing value
EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "gid=100" or missing value

This could take some tweaking to get right.
