This probably isn't going to work the way you want. Starting the share1

If you stack automounts in this way, the "inner" automount essentially
keeps the "outer" mount permanently in use.

That makes sense. So what I really need is a way to start the nested automount unit when the outer mount unit starts. The app will touch the outer mountpoint causing it to mount and starting the inner automount unit. The app may then navigate to the inner mountpoint and cause it to mount. But I don't need the inner automount unit to start at boot. It just needs to start when the outer mount completes.

So what can I put in either the outer mount unit or inner automount unit to make the inner automount start when the outer mount completes? _______________________________________________
