Unexpected filesystem behavior
automount's use of symbolic links may produce unexpected
effects. For example,
automount's method of mounting a filesystem onto the
pseudo-staging area /tmp_mnt/... causes undesired
results when changing directories using ``..'' in a pathname.
If the user issues the command cd .. from the mount
point root, he or she ends up in /tmp_mnt, not in the
desired parent directory. Similarly, pwd also
shows the staging area.
These unexpected effects do not appear if using the Korn shell because this type of shell keeps its own copy of the absolute pathname.
