Description of problem: The error msg refers to the process of creating indirect automount map via WebUI. When user give non-exist parent map value, the error dialogue box says: <Automount location>: automount map not found This is confusing because it does not point out which automount map does not exist while there are two automount map in the previous dialogue. It would be much clear if the error msg says something like "parent map xxx (give value here) not found".
This isn't strictly Web UI bug. The error message comes from server so it is the same in CLI and therefore it should be fixed in a server code.
Also the bug description isn't entirely correct. When adding indirect automount map we may or not specify a parent map. When parent map is not specified a fallback 'auto.master' map is used. If 'auto-master' map doesn't exist following error message is shown:
{{{<Automount location>: automount map not found}}}
This is wrong.
But if we specify a map which doesn't exist. It shows this message:
{{{<Specified map name>: automount map not found}}}}
This is correct.
