<para>In many ways, <command>systemd-mount</command> is similar to the lower-level
- <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> command, however instead
- of executing the mount operation directly and immediately, <command>systemd-mount</command> schedules it through
- the service manager job queue, so that it may pull in further dependencies (such as parent mounts, or a file system
- checker to execute a priori), and may make use of the auto-mounting logic.</para>
-
- <para>The command takes either one or two arguments. If only one argument is specified it should refer to a block
- device or regular file containing a file system (e.g. <literal>/dev/sdb1</literal> or
- <literal>/path/to/disk.img</literal>). If it is a block device, which is then probed for a label and other
- metadata, and is mounted to a directory whose name is generated from the label. In this mode the block device must
- exist at the time of invocation of the command, so that it may be probed. If the device is found to be a removable
- block device (e.g. a USB stick) an automount point instead of a regular mount point is created (i.e. the
- <option>--automount=</option> option is implied, see below).</para>
-
- <para>If two arguments are specified the first indicates the mount source (the <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable>) and
- the second indicates the path to mount it on (the <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>). In this mode no probing of the
- source is attempted, and a backing device node doesn't have to exist yet. However, if this mode is combined with
- <option>--discover</option>, device node probing for additional metadata is enabled, and – much like in the
- single-argument case discussed above – the specified device has to exist at the time of invocation of the
- command.</para>
