See + systemd.unit5 + 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. + + Additional options are listed in + systemd.exec5, + which define the execution environment the + mount8 + program is executed in, and in + systemd.kill5, + which define the way the processes are terminated, and in + systemd.resource-control5, + which configure resource control settings for the processes of the + service. + + Note that the options User= and + Group= are not useful for mount units. + systemd passes two parameters to + mount8; + the values of What= and Where=. + When invoked in this way, + mount8 + does not read any options from /etc/fstab, and + must be run as UID 0. + + Mount units must be named after the mount point directories they control. Example: the mount point + /home/lennart must be configured in a unit file + home-lennart.mount. For details about the escaping logic used to convert a file + system path to a unit name, see + systemd.unit5. 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. + + Optionally, a mount unit may be accompanied by an automount + unit, to allow on-demand or parallelized mounting. See + systemd.automount5. + + Mount points created at runtime (independently of unit files + or /etc/fstab) will be monitored by systemd + and appear like any other mount unit in systemd. See + /proc/self/mountinfo description in + proc5. + + + 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 API + File Systems. + + The + systemd-mount1 command + allows creating .mount and .automount units dynamically and + transiently from the command line. + + + + Automatic Dependencies + + + Implicit Dependencies + + The following dependencies are implicitly added: + + + If a mount unit is beneath another mount unit in the file + system hierarchy, both a requirement dependency and an ordering + dependency between both units are created automatically. + + Block device backed file systems automatically gain + BindsTo= and After= type + dependencies on the device unit encapsulating the block + device (see below). + + If traditional file system quota is enabled for a mount + unit, automatic Wants= and + Before= dependencies on + systemd-quotacheck.service and + quotaon.service are added. + + Additional implicit dependencies may be added as result of + execution and resource control parameters as documented in + systemd.exec5 + and + systemd.resource-control5. + + + + + + Default Dependencies + + The following dependencies are added unless DefaultDependencies=no is set: + + + All mount units acquire automatic Before= and Conflicts= on + umount.target in order to be stopped during shutdown. + + Mount units referring to local file systems automatically gain + an After= dependency on local-fs-pre.target, and a + Before= dependency on local-fs.target unless + mount option is set. + + Network mount units + automatically acquire After= dependencies on remote-fs-pre.target, + network.target and network-online.target, and gain a + Before= dependency on remote-fs.target unless + mount option is set. Towards the latter a + Wants= unit is added as well. + + + 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 may be added to the mount option string of the unit, which forces + systemd to consider the mount unit a network mount. + + + + + <filename>fstab</filename> + + Mount units may either be configured via unit files, or via /etc/fstab (see + fstab5 + for details). Mounts listed in /etc/fstab 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 /etc/fstab is the preferred approach to manage mounts for + humans. For tooling, writing mount units should be preferred over editing /etc/fstab. + See systemd-fstab-generator8 + for details about the conversion from /etc/fstab to mount units. + + The NFS mount option for NFS background mounts + as documented in nfs5 + is detected by systemd-fstab-generator and the options + are transformed so that systemd fulfills the job-control implications of + that option. Specifically systemd-fstab-generator acts + as though x-systemd.mount-timeout=infinity,retry=10000 was + prepended to the option list, and fg,nofail was appended. + Depending on specific requirements, it may be appropriate to provide some of + these options explicitly, or to make use of the + x-systemd.automount option described below instead + of using bg. + + When reading /etc/fstab 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 Wants= or + (see option + below), from either local-fs.target or + remote-fs.target, depending whether the file + system is local or remote. + + + + + + + Configures a Requires= and + an After= dependency between the created + mount unit and another systemd unit, such as a device or mount + 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 + system that merges multiple mount points). See + After= and Requires= in + systemd.unit5 + for details. + + Note that this option always applies to the created mount unit + only regardless whether has been + specified. + + + + + + + In the created mount unit, configures a + Before= or After= + dependency on another systemd unit, such as a mount unit. + The argument should be a unit name or an absolute path + to a mount point. This option may be specified more than once. + This option is particularly useful for mount point declarations + with option that are mounted + asynchronously but need to be mounted before or after some unit + start, for example, before local-fs.target + unit. + See Before= and After= in + systemd.unit5 + for details. + + Note that these options always apply to the created mount unit + only regardless whether has been + specified. + + + + + + + In the created mount unit, configures a + WantedBy= or RequiredBy= + dependency on another unit. This option may be + specified more than once. If this is specified, the normal + automatic dependencies on the created mount unit, e.g., + local-fs.target, are not automatically + created. See WantedBy= and RequiredBy= in + systemd.unit5 + for details. + + + + + + Configures a + RequiresMountsFor= dependency between the + created mount unit and other mount units. The argument must be + an absolute path. This option may be specified more than once. + See RequiresMountsFor= in + systemd.unit5 + for details. + + + + + + The block device backed file system will be upgraded + to BindsTo= dependency. This option is only useful + when mounting file systems manually with + mount8 + as the default dependency in this case is Requires=. + This option is already implied by entries in /etc/fstab + or by mount units. + + + + + + + An automount unit will be created for the file + system. See + systemd.automount5 + for details. + + + + + + Configures the idle timeout of the + automount unit. See TimeoutIdleSec= in + systemd.automount5 + for details. + + + + + + Configure how long systemd should wait for a + device to show up before giving up on an entry from + /etc/fstab. Specify a time in seconds or + explicitly append a unit such as s, + min, h, + ms. + + Note that this option can only be used in + /etc/fstab, and will be + ignored when part of the Options= + setting in a unit file. + + + + + + + Configure how long systemd should wait for the + mount command to finish before giving up on an entry from + /etc/fstab.

If the device is not "empty", i.e. it contains any signature, + the operation will be skipped. It is hence expected that this option + remains set even after the device has been initialized. + + Note that this option can only be used in + /etc/fstab, and will be ignored when part of the + Options= setting in a unit file. + + See + systemd-makefs@.service8. + + + wipefs8 + may be used to remove any signatures from a block device to force + to reinitialize the device. + + + + + + + The file system will be grown to occupy the full block + device. If the file system is already at maximum size, no action will + be performed. It is hence expected that this option remains set even after + the file system has been grown. Only certain file system types are supported, + see + systemd-makefs@.service8 + for details. + + Note that this option can only be used in + /etc/fstab, and will be ignored when part of the + Options= setting in a unit file. + + + + + + If a mount operation fails to mount the file system + read-write, it normally tries mounting the file system read-only instead. + This option disables that behaviour, and causes the mount to fail + immediately instead. This option is translated into the + ReadWriteOnly= setting in a unit file. + + + + + + + Normally the file system type is used to determine if a + mount is a "network mount", i.e. if it should only be started after the + network is available. Using this option overrides this detection and + specifies that the mount requires network. + + Network mount units are ordered between remote-fs-pre.target + and remote-fs.target, instead of + local-fs-pre.target and local-fs.target. + They also pull in network-online.target and are ordered after + it and network.target. + + + + + + + + With , the mount unit will not be added as a dependency for + local-fs.target or remote-fs.target. This means that it + will not be mounted automatically during boot, unless it is pulled in by some other unit. The + option has the opposite meaning and is the default. + + Note that if (see above) is used, neither + nor have any effect. The matching automount unit will + be added as a dependency to the appropriate target. + + + + + + + With , this mount will be only wanted, not required, by + local-fs.target or remote-fs.target. Moreover the mount unit is not + ordered before these target units. This means that the boot will continue without waiting for the mount unit + and regardless whether the mount point can be mounted successfully. + + + + + + + An additional filesystem to be mounted in the initrd. See + initrd-fs.target description in + systemd.special7. + + + + + If a mount point is configured in both + /etc/fstab and a unit file that is stored + below /usr/, the former will take precedence. + If the unit file is stored below /etc/, it + will take precedence. This means: native unit files take + precedence over traditional configuration files, but this is + superseded by the rule that configuration in + /etc/ will always take precedence over + configuration in /usr/. + + + + Options + + Mount unit files may include [Unit] and [Install] sections, which are described in + systemd.unit5. + + + 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 + systemd.exec5 + and + systemd.kill5. + The options specific to the [Mount] section of mount units are the + following: + + + + + What= + Takes an absolute path of a device node, file or other resource to mount. See + mount8 for + details. If this refers to a device node, a dependency on the respective device unit is automatically + created. (See + systemd.device5 + for more information.) This option is mandatory. Note that the usual specifier expansion is applied + to this setting, literal percent characters should hence be written as %%. If this mount is a bind mount and the specified path does not exist + yet it is created as directory. + + + + Where= + Takes an absolute path of a file or directory for the mount point; in particular, the + destination cannot be a symbolic link. If the mount point does not exist at the time of mounting, it + is created as either a directory or a file. The former is the usual case; the latter is done only if this mount + is a bind mount and the source (What=) is not a directory. + This string must be reflected in the unit filename. (See above.) This option + is mandatory. + + + + Type= + Takes a string for the file system type. See + mount8 + for details. This setting is optional. + + + + Options= + + Mount options to use when mounting. This takes a comma-separated list of options. This setting + is optional. Note that the usual specifier expansion is applied to this setting, literal percent characters + should hence be written as %%. + + + + SloppyOptions= + + Takes a boolean argument. If true, parsing of + the options specified in Options= is + relaxed, and unknown mount options are tolerated. This + corresponds with + mount8's + -s switch. Defaults to + off. + + + + LazyUnmount= + + Takes a boolean argument. If true, detach the + filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy at time of the unmount + operation, and clean up all references to the filesystem as + soon as they are not busy anymore. + This corresponds with + umount8's + -l switch. Defaults to + off. + + + + ReadWriteOnly= + + Takes a boolean argument. If false, a mount + point that shall be mounted read-write but cannot be mounted + so is retried to be mounted read-only. If true the operation + will fail immediately after the read-write mount attempt did + not succeed. This corresponds with + mount8's + -w switch. Defaults to + off. + + + + ForceUnmount= + + Takes a boolean argument. If true, force an + unmount (in case of an unreachable NFS system). + This corresponds with + umount8's + -f switch. Defaults to + off. + + + + DirectoryMode= + 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. + + + + TimeoutSec= + 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 + in + systemd.kill5.) + Takes a unit-less value in seconds, or a time span value such + as "5min 20s". Pass 0 to disable the timeout logic.
