I suspect that dnf and other tools are looking at all the entries in / and 
seeing if they are mountpoints, to determine if there is enough space when 
running rpm operations. That way you don’t run out of space mid-transaction.  

Because your automount is mounted in /, I’d expect this kind of thing to 
trigger.  I believe just running something like ‘ls -F /‘ ought to trigger the 
automount.

This is why I always hang my automounts off a subdirectory of /, such as /mnt 
or /net.
