[Bug 1709649] Re: 229 backport for race between explicit mount and handling automount

[Lars Müller-Gilberger]

Hi Dimitri,

We are affected by that,too.
We have no advantage support. 
We have multiple server parks with 3000+ Ubuntu machines.

We sees this this bug triggering especially, if some
program/container/pod is using auto mount directly after startup.

We worked around this issue by manually patching, but this is not a
great solution, as you can guess.

Is there any expectation when the MR above will be back ported or a new
systemd release, which is including the fix will be issued ?

Best Regards
Lars
