An automounter (either an explicit one, like autofs, or an implicit
one, such as are used by AFS or NFSv4) is something that triggers
a mount when something is touched.
However, it's undesirable to automount, say, everyone's home
directory just because someone opened up /home in their GUI
browser or typed "ls -l /home". The early automounters simply
didn't list the contents until you accessed it by name;
this is still the case when you can't enumerate a mapping
(say, all DNS names under /net). However, this is extremely
inconvenient, too.
The solution we ended up settling on is to create something
that looks like a directory (i.e. reports S_IFDIR in stat()),
but behaves somewhat like a symlink. In particular, when it is
accessed in a way where a symlink would be dereferenced,
the automount triggers and the directory is mounted. However,
system calls which do *not* cause a symlink to be dereferenced,
like lstat(), also do not cause the automounter to trigger.
This means that "ls -l", or a GUI file browser, can see a list
of directories without causing each one of them to be automounted.
