Note that switching to mount_type = autofs is not a transparent change to your users, because it causes the mounts to happen in place rather than as symlinks to the real mount location elsewhere, as it does in the traditional mount_type = nfs. This means that the output of some routines which determine the current working directory will change.

mount_type=autofs actually is rather more sensible at this than the old system, but nevertheless there will be a change in behaviour which might affect your users or applications.
