Anybody using autofs and wine? Does it work? I don't follow wine development lists, so maybe autofs is no longer a problem. Once in a while I build a CVS snapshot and test whether the odd app I still have works. And wine on autofs doesn't work here. I think Guido already sent a mail about this last month.
Guido patched wine way back in Feb 2003, submitted a bug
http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283
and even set up a page to describe the problem
http://freespace.sourceforge.net/guidod/wine-vol-a/
Since then he has completely rewritten the patch in order to search the /etc/auto.* files for drives. This obsoleted the additional options in wine's config with the old patch. This last patch worked perfectly until recently.
However, Guido is busy right now and cannot work on the patch. And my C is pretty bad. If anybody is interested I can provide the last patch known to work. If for some reason the patch does not meet wine's standards, would it be possible that the autofs problem is recognized and put on a TODO list for later? Or even close the bug as WONTFIX?
thanks
Mark

The new filesystem code that I'm working on currently is supposed to fix that issue.

Great! Thank you.
It's just that all machines I install use autofs on removables and even on native win and backup partitions. I already worked on excuses for the problem and meanwhile used an older version of wine.
