NFS autofs can't see mounted subdirectory

[HyperHacker]

I have a machine (mercury) on which /home/hyperhacker/video is a mounted external hard drive while the rest of /home/hyperhacker is on the internal hard disk. I have a second machine (konata) using autofs to automatically mount mercury:/home/hyperhacker in /mnt/mercury as needed. This works, except /mnt/mercury/video shows up empty.

mercury:/etc/exports has:

/home/hyperhacker       konata(ro,subtree_check)
/home/hyperhacker/video konata(ro,subtree_check)

and I've tried a few variations in konata:

$ cat /etc/auto.master
[...]
+auto.master
/mnt /etc/auto.mercury
/mnt/mercury/video /etc/auto.mercury.video
$ cat /etc/auto.mercury
*       mercury:/home/hyperhacker
$ cat /etc/auto.mercury.video
*       mercury:/home/hyperhacker/video

/mnt/mercury mounts automatically, but /mnt/mercury/video still shows up empty. I can only manually mount it:

$ sudo mount mercury:/home/hyperhacker/video /mnt/mercury/video

Then the contents show up, so mounting works. Just autofs doesn't seem to handle it... probably I've done something wrong in the config?

Not sure. Have you tried listing the directories in the reverse order?

/mnt/mercury/video /etc/auto.mercury.video
/mnt /etc/auto.mercury

No good. Still can't see anything in /mnt/mercury/video unless I explicitly mount it.
