RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
In RHEL 7 it was noticed that sysstat was forcing mounts of automounts whenever it ran.  This was resolved with BZ1670060:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1670060

It seems that this fix was never applied to the RHEL 8 sysstat as I don't see the code change here and I have a customer that has sysstat remounting their autofs.

The upstream code for this was in sysstat v12.5.3 but RHEL 8.3 is on 11.7.3-5 so it looks like we might have missed it.  Upstream code:

    https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat/issues/213

There was also a BZ around the fix which would lead to a crash due to this fix and that BZ is here:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1774590


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

    RHEL 8.3 sysstat-11.7.3-5

How reproducible:
    
    Always

Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Set up autofs
    2. Run sysstat
    3. sysstat will force a mount of autofs

Actual results:

    sysstat will force a mount of autofs

Expected results:

    sysstat skips over autofs mounts

Additional info:

Added regression flag, as customers upgrading to RHEL 8 are seeing this issue re-introduced into their RHEL environments.
