OK, here's where I stand now:
1. I stopped and disabled autofs. (I have 2 SMB filesystems out on the LAN
that have also been automounting with autofs, do I need to do similar
changes in fstab for them?)
2. yes it has.
3. none I can see.
4. nothing that leaps out at me. there are a couple about /mnt/backup not
existing but they appear to be old ones, aren't happening anymore.
So, I've made a minor tweak to /etc/fstab, nothing that should matter.
rebooted, and when it comes up /mnt/backup is mounted. TWICE, according to
the output of mount:
$ mount | grep backup
systemd-1 on /mnt/backup type autofs
(rw,relatime,fd=25,pgrp=1,timeout=900,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=9840)
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/backup type ext4
(rw,relatime,seclabel,stripe=8191,data=ordered)
is this really a double mount, or is this what I'm supposed to be seeing?
doesn't seem to timeout and auto umount.
Thanks again for your assistance!
