    <title>Description</title>

    <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>
    program 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.</para>

    <para>Note that the options <varname>User=</varname> and
    <varname>Group=</varname> are not useful for mount units.
    systemd passes two parameters to
    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>;
    the values of <varname>What=</varname> and <varname>Where=</varname>.
    When invoked in this way,
    <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    does not read any options from <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>, and
    must be run as UID 0.</para>

    <para>Mount units must be named after the mount point directories they control. Example: the mount point
    <filename index="false">/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>. Note
    that mount units cannot be templated, nor is possible to add multiple names to a mount unit by creating
    symlinks to its unit file.</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>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-userspace interfaces. Some
    of them may not be changed via mount units, and cannot be
    disabled. For a longer discussion see <ulink
    url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/APIFileSystems">API
    File Systems</ulink>.</para>

    <para>The
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> command
    allows creating <filename>.mount</filename> and <filename>.automount</filename> units dynamically and
    transiently from the command line.</para>

        mount options among <option>nofail</option>, <option>x-systemd.wanted-by=</option>,
        and <option>x-systemd.required-by=</option> is set. See below for detailed information.</para>

        <para>Additionally, an <varname>After=</varname> dependency on <filename>swap.target</filename>
        is added when the file system type is <literal>tmpfs</literal>.</para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem><para>Network mount units automatically acquire <varname>After=</varname> dependencies on

      </itemizedlist>

      <para>Mount units referring to local and network file systems are distinguished by their file system type
      specification. In some cases this is not sufficient (for example network block device based mounts, such as
      iSCSI), in which case <option>_netdev</option> may be added to the mount option string of the unit, which forces
      systemd to consider the mount unit a network mount.</para>
    </refsect2>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title><filename>fstab</filename></title>

    <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 to manage mounts for
    humans. For tooling, writing mount units should be preferred over editing <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>.
    See <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-fstab-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    for details about the conversion from <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> to mount units.</para>

    <para>The NFS mount option <option>bg</option> for NFS background mounts
    as documented in <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>nfs</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    is detected by <command>systemd-fstab-generator</command> and the options
    are transformed so that systemd fulfills the job-control implications of
    that option.  Specifically <command>systemd-fstab-generator</command> acts
    as though <literal>x-systemd.mount-timeout=infinity,retry=10000</literal> was
    prepended to the option list, and <literal>fg,nofail</literal> was appended.
    Depending on specific requirements, it may be appropriate to provide some of
    these options explicitly, or to make use of the
    <literal>x-systemd.automount</literal> option described below instead
    of using <literal>bg</literal>.</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 <varname>Wants=</varname> 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>

        unit. The argument should be a unit name, or an absolute path
        to a device node or mount point.  This option may be specified
        more than once. This option is particularly useful for mount
        point declarations that need an additional device to be around
        (such as an external journal device for journal file systems)
        or an additional mount to be in place (such as an overlay file

    <para>Mount unit files may include [Unit] and [Install] sections, which are described in
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <para>Mount unit 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>
    and
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.kill</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    The options specific to the [Mount] section of mount units are the
    following:</para>
