When _collectd_ calls *statvfs(3)* on paths like `/host/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc` which are configured for auto-mounting, _systemd_ logs hundreds of messages like these: ``` systemd[1]: proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount: Got automount request for /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc, triggered by 1303 (reader#3) systemd[1]: proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount: Automount point already active? ``` Eventually, _collectd_ logs an error: ``` collectd[1132]: statvfs(/host/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc) failed: Too many levels of symbolic links ``` This happens on every scrape interval. To avoid this, we can configure _collectd_ to skip calling *statvfs(3)* on _autofs_ mount points. Even if it did work correctly, we wouldn't really want _collectd_ triggering automounts; that would pretty much defeat the purpose of them.
