+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
+ <filename>.mount</filename> encodes information about
+ a file system mount point controlled and supervised by
+ systemd.</para>
+
+ <para>This man page lists the configuration options
+ specific to this unit type. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for the common options of all unit configuration
+ files. The common configuration items are configured
+ in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
+ mount specific configuration options are configured
+ in the [Mount] section.</para>
+
+ <para>Additional options are listed in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+ which define the execution environment the
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ binary is executed in.</para>
+
+ <para>Mount units must be named after the mount point
+ directories they control. Example: the mount point
+ <filename>/home/lennart</filename> must be configured
+ in a unit file
+ <filename>home-lennart.mount</filename>. For details
+ about the escaping logic used to convert a file system
+ path to a unit name see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>Optionally, a mount unit may be accompanied by
+ an automount unit, to allow on-demand or parallelized
+ mounting. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.automount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+ <para>If an mount point is beneath another mount point
+ in the file system hierarchy, a dependency between both
+ units is created automatically.</para>
+
+ <para>Mount points created at runtime independent on
+ unit files or <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> will be
+ monitored by systemd and appear like any other mount
+ unit in systemd.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title><filename>/etc/fstab</filename></title>
+
+ <para>Mount units may either be configured via unit
+ files, or via <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details).</para>
+
+ <para>When reading <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> a
+ few special mount options are understood by systemd
+ which influence how dependencies are created for mount
+ points from <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>. If
+ <option>MountAuto=yes</option> is set in
+ <filename>system.conf</filename> (which is the
+ default), or if <option>x-systemd.mount</option> is
+ specified as mount option, then systemd will create a
+ dependency of type <option>Wants</option> from either
+ <filename>local-fs.target</filename> or
+ <filename>remote-fs.target</filename>, depending
+ whether the file system is local or remote. If
+ <option>x-systemd.automount</option> is set, an
+ automount unit will be created for the file
+ system. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.automount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. If
+ <option>x-systemd-device-timeout=</option> is
+ specified it may be used to configure how long systemd
+ should wait for a device to show up before giving up
+ on an entry from
+ <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>. Specify a time in
+ seconds or explicitly specifiy a unit as
+ <literal>s</literal>, <literal>min</literal>,
+ <literal>h</literal>, <literal>ms</literal>.</para>
+
+ <para>If a mount point is configured in both
+ <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file, the
+ configuration in the latter takes precedence.</para>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Options</title>
+
+ <para>Mount files must include a [Mount] section,
+ which carries information about the file system mount points it
+ supervises. A number of options that may be used in
+ this section are shared with other unit types. These
+ options are documented in
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
+ options specific to the [Mount] section of mount
+ units are the following:</para>
+
+ <variablelist>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>What=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Takes an absolute path
+ of a device node, file or other
+ resource to mount. See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+ for details. If this refers to a
+ device node, a dependency on the
+ respective device unit is
+ automatically created. (See
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for more information.)
+ This option is
+ mandatory.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>Where=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Takes an absolute path
+ of a directory of the mount point. If
+ the mount point is not existing at
+ time of mounting, it is created. This
+ string must be reflected in the unit
+ file name. (See above.) This option is
+ mandatory.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>Type=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Takes a string for the
+ filesystem type. See

+ for details. This setting is
+ optional.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>Options=</varname></term>
+
+ <listitem><para>Mount options to use
+ when mounting. This takes a comma
+ separated list of options. This
+ setting is optional.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>DirectoryMode=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Directories of mount
+ points (and any parent directories)
+ are automatically created if
+ needed. This option specifies the file
+ system access mode used when creating
+ these directories. Takes an access
+ mode in octal notation. Defaults to
+ 0755.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>TimeoutSec=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Configures the time to
+ wait for the mount command to
+ finish. If a command does not exit
+ within the configured time the mount
+ will be considered failed and be shut
+ down again. All commands still running
+ will be terminated forcibly via
+ SIGTERM, and after another delay of
+ this time with SIGKILL. (See
+ <option>KillMode=</option> below.)
+ Takes a unit-less value in seconds, or
+ a time span value such as "5min
+ 20s". Pass 0 to disable the timeout
+ logic. Defaults to
+ 90s.</para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>KillMode=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Specifies how
+ processes of this mount shall be
+ killed. One of
+ <option>control-group</option>,
+ <option>process</option>,
+ <option>none</option>.</para>
+
+ <para>This option is mostly equivalent
+ to the <option>KillMode=</option>

+ for details.</para></listitem>

+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><varname>SendSIGKILL=</varname></term>
+ <listitem><para>Specifies whether to
+ send SIGKILL to remaining processes
+ after a timeout, if the normal
