Description

We give up waiting after 60 seconds in the automount path. This should not trigger a notification, as it is possible the mount is just taking a long time to complete.

Research direction

Start by tracing the automount path and the 60-second wait that leads to the mount failure notification; no file or test is named in the issue. Confirm the notification is emitted only when the mount actually fails, not when the wait expires while mounting may still be progressing.
