<title>Description</title>
<para><command>systemd-mount</command> may be used to create and start a transient <filename>.mount</filename> or
<filename>.automount</filename> unit of the file system <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable> on the mount point
<replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>.</para>
<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>). The block device or image file is then probed for a file system
label and other metadata, and is mounted to a directory below <filename>/run/media/system/</filename>
whose name is generated from the file system label. In this mode the block device or image file 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 is created instead of a regular mount point
(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. 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>
<para>Use the <option>--list</option> command to show a terse table of all local, known block devices with file
systems that may be mounted with this command.</para>
<para><command>systemd-umount</command> can be used to unmount a mount or automount point. It is the same
as <command>systemd-mount</command> <option>--umount</option>.</para>

<para>Do not synchronously wait for the requested operation to finish. If this is not specified, the job will
be verified, enqueued and <command>systemd-mount</command> will wait until the mount or automount unit's
start-up is completed. By passing this argument, it is only verified and enqueued.</para>

<term><option>--discover</option></term>
<listitem><para>Enable probing of the mount source. This switch is implied if a single argument is specified on
the command line. If passed, additional metadata is read from the device to enhance the unit to create. For
example, a descriptive string for the transient units is generated from the file system label and device
model. Moreover if a removable block device (e.g. USB stick) is detected an automount unit instead of a regular
mount unit is created, with a short idle timeout, in order to ensure the file-system is placed in a clean
state quickly after each access.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--type=</option></term>
<term><option>-t</option></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies the file system type to mount (e.g. <literal>vfat</literal>, <literal>ext4</literal>,

of mount options. Only certain file systems support this option.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--fsck=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument, defaults to on. Controls whether to run a file system check
immediately before the mount operation. In the automount case (see <option>--automount=</option> below) the
check will be run the moment the first access to the device is made, which might slightly delay the
access.</para></listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term><option>--description=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Provide a description for the mount or automount unit. See <varname>Description=</varname> in

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--automount=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. Controls whether to create an automount point or a regular mount
point. If true an automount point is created that is backed by the actual file system at the time of first
access. If false a plain mount point is created that is backed by the actual file system immediately. Automount
points have the benefit that the file system stays unmounted and hence in clean state until it is first
accessed. In automount mode the <option>--timeout-idle-sec=</option> switch (see below) may be used to ensure
the mount point is unmounted automatically after the last access and an idle period passed.</para>
<para>If this switch is not specified it defaults to false. If not specified and <option>--discover</option> is
used (or only a single argument passed, which implies <option>--discover</option>, see above), and the file
system block device is detected to be removable, it is set to true, in order to increase the chance that the
file system is in a fully clean state if the device is unplugged abruptly.</para></listitem>

<term><option>-A</option></term>
<listitem><para>Equivalent to <option>--automount=yes</option>.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--timeout-idle-sec=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Takes a time value that controls the idle timeout in automount mode. If set to
<literal>infinity</literal> (the default) no automatic unmounts are done. Otherwise the file system backing the
automount point is detached after the last access and the idle timeout passed. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> for details on
the time syntax supported. This option has no effect if only a regular mount is established, and automounting
is not used.</para>
<para>Note that if <option>--discover</option> is used (or only a single argument passed, which implies
<option>--discover</option>, see above), and the file system block device is detected to be removable,
<option>--timeout-idle-sec=1s</option> is implied.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--automount-property=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Similar to <option>--property=</option>, but applies additional properties to the automount
unit created, instead of the mount unit.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--bind-device</option></term>
<listitem><para>This option only has an effect in automount mode,
and controls whether the automount unit shall be bound to the backing device's lifetime. If set, the
automount point will be removed automatically when the backing device vanishes. By default the automount point
stays around, and subsequent accesses will block until backing device is replugged. This option has no effect
in case of non-device mounts, such as network or virtual file system mounts.</para>
<para>Note that if <option>--discover</option> is used (or only a single argument passed, which implies
<option>--discover</option>, see above), and the file system block device is detected to be removable, this
option is implied.</para></listitem>

containing file systems that may be mounted with <literal>systemd-mount</literal>, along with useful metadata
such as labels, etc.</para></listitem>

<replaceable>WHERE</replaceable> or the devices <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable>.
<command>systemd-mount</command> with this option or <command>systemd-umount</command> can take multiple arguments
which can be mount points, devices, <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> style node names, or backing files
corresponding to loop devices, like
<command>systemd-mount --umount /path/to/umount /dev/sda1 UUID=xxxxxx-xxxx LABEL=xxxxx /path/to/disk.img</command>.
Note that when <option>-H</option> or <option>-M</option> is specified, only absolute paths to mount points are
supported.</para></listitem>

<term><option>-G</option></term>
<term><option>--collect</option></term>
<listitem><para>Unload the transient unit after it completed, even if it failed. Normally, without this option,
all mount units that mount and failed are kept in memory until the user explicitly resets their failure state with
<command>systemctl reset-failed</command> or an equivalent command. On the other hand, units that stopped
successfully are unloaded immediately. If this option is turned on the "garbage collection" of units is more
aggressive, and unloads units regardless if they exited successfully or failed. This option is a shortcut for
<command>--property=CollectMode=inactive-or-failed</command>, see the explanation for
<varname>CollectMode=</varname> in
