---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: true
  gather_facts: true

  roles:
    - role: robertdebock.autofs
      autofs_maps:
        - mountpoint: /bind/mnt
          options:
            - "--timeout 60"
          directories:
            - path: mount
              server: ":/mnt"
              options:
                - "fstype=bind"
        - name: direct-mounts
          mountpoint: /-
          options:
            - "--timeout 60"
            - "--ghost"
          directories:
