Hi engineering,

in SLES/D 12 SP2 the call "df -l" queries all directories that are handled by the systemd automounter. That includes nfs automounts and therefore causes "df -l" to hang if a NFS server is hanging.

E.g. we have the following entry in /etc/fstab:
knuth:/local/storage  /mnt/s1   nfs4    defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0

I attach a strace output of "df -l" that shows that "/mnt/s1" is statted. df considers it a local mountpoint due to the "systemd-1 on /mnt/s1" entry:

systemd-1 on /mnt/s1 type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=22,pgrp=1,timeout=60,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct)
knuth:/local/storage on /mnt/s1 type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp6,port=0,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=2001:4ca0:4000:1011:141:84:1:25,local_lock=none,addr=2001:4ca0:4000:1011:141:84:1:25)


However, if /mnt/s1 is mounted and nfs-server is down, statting /mnt/s1 will hang. 

But "df -l" should never hang just because an NFS mount is down.

Can you help here please?
