[arch-general] Pacman and Systemd's automount

[Guillermo Leira]

Hello!

I have enabled systemd, and since then, I see the following:

[root at guillelinux ~]# LANG=C pacman -Syu

It seems that pacman tries to access or check every mounted filesystem in my
PC. It is not very important, except when I'm out of the office. I have
defined some mount points like this:

172.31.217.10:/vol/vol0	/mnt/up	nfs	noauto,x-systemd.automount,defaults
0 0

When pacman reaches this filesystems, that obviously can't be accessed from
outside the office, it hangs forever. I have to issue

Systemctl stop mnt-systemd.up

And then it works.

Why is pacman trying to access all the mountpoints?

Best Regards,
