Comment 12 for bug 210468

On a medium-sized installation with a few thousand automounter entries, the resulting mount storm makes the system unusable. It is constantly spawning new automount processes (almost like a fork bomb) and keeps haldaemon at 99% CPU. Not sure how gvfs triggers this, a simple stat /home/.Trash (where /home is autofs) sure doesn't trigger a mount storm.

This is happening from time to time; the bug was also in feisty and seems to be more likely to occurr in hardy.
