Hi, I'm playing with mount units as a replacement of traditional fstab declaration as I'd like to use some systemd facilities, for example requirements between services and their underlying storage.
The systemd.mount(5) manual says: If the mount point is not existing at time of mounting, it is created. That seems to work fine when I run manually: [root@localhost ~]# ls -d /foo/bar/ ls: cannot access /foo/bar/: No such file or directory [root@localhost ~]# systemctl start foo-bar.mount [root@localhost ~]# ls -d /foo/bar/ /foo/bar/ However, when the unit is run at boot-time (because it has been enabled), I get the following when the mount point doesn't exist: [root@localhost ~]# systemctl status foo-bar.mount foo-bar.mount - /foo/bar Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/foo-bar.mount; enabled) Active: failed since Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:01:05 +0800; 3min 57s ago Where: /foo/bar What: tmpfs Process: 427 ExecMount=/bin/mount tmpfs /foo/bar -t tmpfs (code=exited, status=32) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/foo-bar.mount [root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep -F [427] [ 9.450625] mount[427]: mount: mount point /foo/bar does not exist Here is the content of my unit: [root@localhost ~]# cat /lib/systemd/system/foo-bar.mount [Unit] Description=/foo/bar [Mount] What=tmpfs Where=/foo/bar Type=tmpfs [Install] WantedBy=local-fs.target Did I miss something? This is on Fedora 16 with systemd-37-3.fc16.x86_64 -- Mathieu _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
