It is fine for really simple use cases, but the complexity of what autofs does
for large deployments is huge....
I don't know enough about how systemd does the automount support, it might be
leveraging autofs?
[adamw@adam ~]$ rpm -q autofs
package autofs is not installed
[adamw@adam ~]$
apparently not.
I really don't know - all's I know is it works, perfectly, for my simple
case, and doesn't delay boot, which is more than any NFS mounting setup
I could manage / be arsed to figure out prior to systemd.
(also, you owe me a beer for egregious use of the word 'leverage' as a
verb. :>)
