That way you don’t run out of space mid-transaction. Because your automount is mounted in /, I’d expect this kind of thing to trigger. I believe just running something like ‘ls -F /‘ ought to trigger the automount. This is why I always hang my automounts off a subdirectory of /, such as /mnt or /net. — Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
