do I need to reboot or something to get autofs to forget about them being in /mnt?
No, you need to figure out what program, not autofs, is trying to access /mnt/syno-fredex and /mnt/syno-public.
You moved the mounts, but some program still expects those paths to exist. autofs is just telling you that some other program is still looking in that location.
Gordon, thanks for the followup.
I have a desktop icon for opening a window in each of those two mounts (the mounts occur at system boot), the icons are backed up by .desktop files:
cat NAS-fredex.desktop #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Link Icon[en_US]=system-logo-icon Name[en_US]=NAS-fredex URL=/mounts/syno-fredex Name=NAS-fredex Icon=/usr/share/icons/mate/48x48/places/network_local.png
cat NAS-public.desktop #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Link Icon[en_US]=system-logo-icon Name[en_US]=NAS-public URL=/mounts/syno-public Name=NAS-public Icon=/usr/share/icons/mate/48x48/places/network_local.png
if I click one of those then run systemctl status autofs I see one of those errors show up. If I click on it again, there are two errors. if I click on the other one, a third error shows up.
nothing else I've tried seems to cause them to show up.
as you can see, neither of them refers to the old mount point on /mnt.
I know you can't look thru my computer and see what's wrong, but I'm puzzl-ified, since /mnt/syno-public isn't mentioned anywhere in the .desktop files. If you can think of anything else that might be happening, I'd appreciate your wisdom.
thanks once again!
