Hi, I was trying to achieve automatic mounting of my external hard drive whenever it's plugged in.
I first tried the x-systemd.automount option in /etc/fstab but that led to problems when the disk is not plugged (KDE/GTK file dialogs hang indefinitely because they wait for the disk to be mounted). Setting x-systemd.device-timeout didn't seem to change anything. I finally got it working by creating this data.target file and enabling it [Unit] After=dev-disk-by\x5cx2dlabel-Data.device Conflicts=umount.target Before=umount.target Requires=data.mount [Install] # I had to escape \x2d here WantedBy=dev-disk-by\x5cx2dlabel-Data.device I still feel systemd should have this "mount on insert" feature integrated (and configurable from fstab). Also there should be a way for automount to behave in a non-blocking way (having it error out directly if the device is not there). Thanks. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
