Description
The automounter autofs automaticly mounts my NAS at startup.
However, if I reboot my NAS, the mounted volumes aren't reachable anymore. 'autofs restart' or 'autofs stop' doesn't work. I need to reboot Ubuntu to get the autofs work properly again. I'd like this to be fixed.

That's because you can't suddenly pull storage devices out of a running system without warning the system first. Unless we somehow get hardware that can warn about disconnection or shutdown, and wait for the OS to approve it, this is unfixable. The way windows works/worked, where you could just press eject on a disk and hope for the best, was horribly broken. They're now playing catchup, in terms of trying to implement a "safely remove" menu that people actually know they should use. Linux/unix has always done it properly. Get used to it.
