Hi. I am running emacs 18.55 on a SPARCstation1 with SUN OS4.1. 

Most of our filesystems are mounted (and dismounted) using automount. This
plays havoc with file-completion since emacs can't complete the name if the
filesystem in question has been dismounted. If I go into another window
and then cd into that filesystem, the filesystem then mounts and emacs
can complete the name.  It is an annoyance to have to keep doing this though.

Has anyone written some code that will allow the file-completion program to
automount appropriate file systems (say by using a list of valid
filesystems)?

Thanks,
