Thanks for the suggestion! I do have it in /etc/fstab, although there are two: server:/path /mnt/server/path nfs4 x-gvfs-hide,noauto,x-systemd.automount,timeo=15,soft,proto=tcp 0 0 /mnt/server/path/subfolder /mnt/share none bind,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=/mnt/server/path 0 0 This mounts an NFS path into a folder, then bind mounts a folder within it to /mnt/share. I then use RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/share, since it's the second mount that has to happen before the systemd unit can start. The mounts work (they always mount in the correct sequence) it's just that RequiresMountsFor= doesn't seem to like this set up. Cheers, Adam.
