| ### AUTOFS BUG PATH (string) | ||
| With some autofs version, Singularity fails to run with "Too many levels of symbolic links" error when specified bind path (via configuration file or command line argument -B) are located in an autofs mount point. With this directive you can specify any number of autofs mount points generating errors. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This looks great! Here is some slight tweaking to help :)
With some versions of autofs, Singularity will fail to run with a "Too many levels of symbolic links" error. This error happens by way of a user requested bind (done with
-B/--bind) or one specified via the configuration file. To handle this, you will want to specify those paths using this directive. For example:
autofs bug path /share/PI

| You got this error because /apps directory is an autofs mount point. You can fix it by editing singularity.conf and adding the following directive with corresponding path: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| autofs bug path = /apps | ||
| ``` |
