+ configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and
+ [Install] sections. The automount specific configuration options
+ are configured in the [Automount] section.</para>
<para>Automount units must be named after the automount directories they control. Example: the automount point
<filename index="false">/home/lennart</filename> must be configured in a unit file
<para>Automount units may be used to implement on-demand mounting
as well as parallelized mounting of file systems.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that automount units are separate from the mount itself, so you
+ should not set <varname>After=</varname> or <varname>Requires=</varname>
+ for mount dependencies here. For example, you should not set
+ <varname>After=network-online.target</varname> or similar on network
+ filesystems. Doing so may result in an ordering cycle.</para>
