Ok, so this is actually what should have been produced on 4.11.8-300.fc26: /etc/auto.exports on /bind type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=7,pgrp=1800,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect,pipe_ino=32018) /dev/mapper/fedora_f26-root on /bind/test type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered) /etc/auto.exports on /bind/test/lib type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=7,pgrp=1800,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,offset,pipe_ino=32018) /etc/auto.exports on /exports/lib type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=7,pgrp=1800,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,offset,pipe_ino=32018) /etc/auto.exports on /bind/test/tmp type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=7,pgrp=1800,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,offset,pipe_ino=32018) /etc/auto.exports on /exports/tmp type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=7,pgrp=1800,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,offset,pipe_ino=32018) which is also broken.
