> My ESP is mounted via autofs so that it's unmounted when not in use:
> 
>     $ grep /boot/efi /etc/fstab
>     PARTLABEL=joyeux-esp /boot/efi vfat umask=0077,x-systemd.automount,x-
> systemd.idle-timeout=10 0 2
> 
> This leads to:
> 
>     # /usr/lib/fwupd/fwupdate --info
>     Unable to determine EFI system partition location, override using --esp-path
> 
>     # /usr/lib/fwupd/fwupdate --info --esp-path /boot/efi
>     ESP specified was not valid: /boot/efi has an invalid type, expected
> vfat|ntfs|exfat
> 
> fwupd seems to be looking through existing mounts for one of the correct
> type, which won't work where the ESP is mounted via autofs, since it's
> not mounted yet...
