Hi, I'm trying to create an executable automount script that will use overlayfs to union paths from another automount executable defined map. But it seems like this is not automatically triggering the required mounts. For example, I have an executable mount that will correctly setup these paths when accessed (auto.hosts): /hosts/server1/blah /hosts/server2/blah And then I have another executable map (auto.global) that outputs something like this: -fstype=overlay,ro,lowerdir=/hosts/server1/blah\:/hosts/server2/blah global If run the mount directly using "sudo mount -t overlay overlay -o lowerdir=/hosts/server1/blah\:/hosts/server2/blah /global" it correctly triggers the mounting of the /hosts paths first. But if done via the executable automount script above, then it doesn't trigger the /hosts mounts first and fails. I also can't seem to stat or trigger the mounts of the /hosts paths in the executable autofs script prior to outputting the overlayfs mount string. I can however get it to trigger a mount of a /hosts path if I just try to do a bind mount of it from another mount map. Is this something specific to overlayfs and/or is there a limitation on how mounts across executable autofs maps can interact and trigger each other? Cheers, Daire
