+### Please describe the problem.
+When a remote is located on a device (network) that systemd is configured to automount but fails to do so, every git-annex command blocks/waits until the automount times out.
+
+Commands that have to access such a remote (e.g., `sync`, `move`) are are allowed to block, but commands that only operate on the local repository (e.g., `version`, `add`, `calckey`, `find`) or another one (`sync not-doesnotexist`, `move --to=not-doesnotexist`) should not.
+
+The Bash completion is also affected and blocks at every tab.
+
+Probably related: git-annex causes **not missing** idle hard drives (as remotes) to spin up for no reason – even for local commands and completions.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Add a non-existing mount point to `/etc/fstab`:
+
+ /dev/sdoesnotexist /mnt/doesnotexist ext4 defaults,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10 0 0
+
+Add a remote pointing to a path on `/mnt/doesnotexist`:
+
+ $ git remote add doesnotexist /mnt/doesnotexist/path/to/repository
+
+Use any git-annex command and wait for at least `x-systemd.device-timeout`:
+
+ $ time git-annex version > /dev/null
+ real 0m10.433s
+ user 0m0.171s
+ sys 0m0.028s
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+ git-annex version: 6.20171214-g61b515d71d

+
+`strace` always includes a call to `stat("/mnt/doesnotexist/path/to/repository")`.
+
+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+I’m very happy with git-annex (thanks) and use it frequently enough to notice this behavior.
