OK ... I understand... ...


So you say :  the directory exist.. although  I cannot see them ? 
this look to be not much clear   (but really you are right :-). )...


----------  here the output you asked :

Yes and no: it is a mountpoint directory managed exclusively by autofs
(since with ssetup auto.master for that).

This is normal to not be able to create sub-directories under /srv.

Please read carefully what I said earlier:

  Note also that "ls /srv" will show nothing, but "ls /srv/BKx_programming"
  will do the (auto)mount and show you the content.

And what about:

  You are running journalctl as you. Except if your are in the wheel
  group (or some other ones) you will not see the system journal.

  What gives the following commands:

    sudo journalctl --since 19:57:00 -u autofs.service

    ps auxw | grep automount

    systemctl cat autofs.service

    mount -v | grep /media

    mount -v | grep BK

  You should also manually umount every BK directories under /media:

   sudo umount /srv/BKx_data-personal
   sudo umount /srv/BKx_programming
   sudo umount /srv/BKx_data-common
