It seems like 'ls /boot/efi' shouldn't be enough to trigger a mount -- the poi nt is that /boot/efi should stay unmounted unless there's a genuine need to mount it. So just plain noauto might be good enough here (i.e. without the automount). I'm usually a fan of giving mountpoints mode 000 to avoid accidentally using them when unmounted, but that doesn't really do anything for root. --Andy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
