-
- <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
- <literal>.mount</literal> 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 project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- binary is executed in, and in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- which define the way the processes are terminated, and in
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
- which configure resource control settings for the processes of the
- service. Note that the User= and Group= options are not
- particularly useful for mount units specifying a
- <literal>Type=</literal> option or using configuration not
- specified in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>;
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- will refuse options that are not listed in
- <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> if it is not run as UID 0.</para>
-
- <para>Mount units must be named after the mount point directories
- they control. Example: the mount point
- <filename noindex='true'>/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 a 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 (independently of unit files
- or <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>) will be monitored by systemd
- and appear like any other mount unit in systemd. See
- <filename>/proc/self/mountinfo</filename> description in
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>proc</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
- </para>
-
- <para>Some file systems have special semantics as API file systems
- for kernel-to-userspace and userspace-to-userpace interfaces. Some
- of them may not be changed via mount units, and cannot be
- disabled. For a longer discussion see <ulink
- url="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/APIFileSystems">API
- File Systems</ulink>.</para>

-
- <para>Mount units may either be configured via unit files, or via
- <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for details). Mounts listed in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
- will be converted into native units dynamically at boot and when
- the configuration of the system manager is reloaded. In general,
- configuring mount points through <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
- is the preferred approach. See
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-fstab-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- for details about the conversion.</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. systemd will create a
- dependency of type <option>Wants</option> or
- <option>Requires</option> (see option <option>nofail</option>
- below), from either <filename>local-fs.target</filename> or
- <filename>remote-fs.target</filename>, depending whether the file
- system is local or remote.</para>
