I suggest testing automounts in fstests/selftests using "tracing" automount. This is what I do in my reproducers. > The automount behaviour of tracefs is different to the general automount > mechanism which is managed by userspace with the autofs daemon. Yes. But I still was able to write reproducers using "tracing", so this automount point is totally okay for tests. (At least for some tests, such as RESOLVE_NO_XDEV.) -- Askar Safin https://types.pl/@safinaskar
