Check

Verify that OL 9 file system automount function has been disabled and masked with the following command:

$ systemctl is-enabled autofs

Fix

Configure OL 9 to disable and mask the ability to automount devices.

The autofs service can be disabled and masked with the following command:

$ sudo systemctl mask --now autofs.service
