<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>
binary 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. Note that the User= and Group= options are not
particularly useful for mount units specifying a
<literal>Type=</literal> option or using configuration not
specified in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>;
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
will refuse options that are not listed in
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> if it is not run as UID 0.</para>
<para>Mount units must be named after the mount point directories they control. Example: the mount point <filename
noindex='true'>/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 additional symlinks to
it.</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>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Automatic Dependencies</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>Block device backed file systems automatically gain
<varname>BindsTo=</varname> and <varname>After=</varname> type
dependencies on the device unit encapsulating the block
device (see below).</para>
<para>If traditional file system quota is enabled for a mount
unit, automatic <varname>Wants=</varname> and
<varname>Before=</varname> dependencies on
<filename>systemd-quotacheck.service</filename> and
<filename>quotaon.service</filename> are added.</para>
<para>For mount units with <varname>DefaultDependencies=yes</varname> in the <literal>[Unit]</literal> section (the
default) a couple additional dependencies are added. Mount units referring to local file systems automatically gain
an <varname>After=</varname> dependency on <filename>local-fs-pre.target</filename>. Network mount units
automatically acquire <varname>After=</varname> dependencies on <filename>remote-fs-pre.target</filename>,
<filename>network.target</filename> and <filename>network-online.target</filename>. Towards the latter a
<varname>Wants=</varname> 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 <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. Mount units (regardless if
local or network) also acquire automatic <varname>Before=</varname> and <varname>Conflicts=</varname> on
<filename>umount.target</filename> in order to be stopped during shutdown.</para>
<para>Additional implicit dependencies may be added as result of
execution and resource control parameters as documented in
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.resource-control</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
</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. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-fstab-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for details about the conversion.</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 not supported in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> entries. The systemd mount option <option>nofail</option>
provides similar functionality and should be used instead.</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>

<para>If a mount point is configured in both
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file that is stored
below <filename>/usr</filename>, the former will take precedence.
If the unit file is stored below <filename>/etc</filename>, 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
<filename>/etc</filename> will always take precedence over
configuration in <filename>/usr</filename>.</para>

<title>Options</title>
<para>Mount 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>
<variablelist class='unit-directives'>
<varlistentry>

this refers to a device node, a dependency on the respective device unit is automatically created. (See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.device</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> 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 <literal>%%</literal>.</para></listitem>

<term><varname>Where=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Takes an absolute path of a directory of the

<term><varname>TimeoutSec=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Configures the time to wait for the mount
