Description of problem: Logging in to GDM triggers automounts specified in fstab Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd 248.10 gnome-shell 40.8 How reproducible: Log in via GDM Steps to Reproduce: 1.Log in to GDM 2.Check findmnt --mtab 3.Check journalctl -m Actual results: automounts mount Expected results: automounts remain untriggered until applicable process does so Additional info: Problem started after an upgrade from Fedora 30 to 32. All systemd config files in /etc/systemd remain unchanged /etc/fstab options for automounts are: x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=200 I attempted to set dconf to disable gnome automounts to fix as well.
I narrowed it down to the Dropbox daemon, as installed in the package that comes with Fedora 32, then 34. The triggers only occur when the dropbox daemon starts. Whether this is dropbox itself, or the nautilus integration, I'm not sure yet. I haven't closed this yet only because I'm only 95% convinced that systemd isn't contributing to this.
It sounds like the dropbox daemon scans the file system, triggering mounts. Most likely it should do this more carefully, checking if a directory is an automountpoint before descending into it.
