54 | <title>Description</title> | |
55 | ||
56 | <para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in | |
57 | <literal>.automount</literal> encodes information about a file | |
58 | system automount point controlled and supervised by | |
59 | systemd.</para> | |
60 | ||
61 | <para>This man page lists the configuration options specific to | |
62 | this unit type. See | |
63 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
64 | for the common options of all unit configuration files. The common | |
65 | configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and | |
66 | [Install] sections. The automount specific configuration options | |
67 | are configured in the [Automount] section.</para> | |
68 | ||
69 | <para>Automount units must be named after the automount | |
70 | directories they control. Example: the automount point | |
71 | <filename noindex='true'>/home/lennart</filename> must be | |
72 | configured in a unit file | |
73 | <filename>home-lennart.automount</filename>. For details about the | |
74 | escaping logic used to convert a file system path to a unit name | |
75 | see | |
76 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> | |
77 | ||
78 | <para>For each automount unit file a matching mount unit file (see | |
79 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
80 | for details) must exist which is activated when the automount path | |
81 | is accessed. Example: if an automount unit | |
82 | <filename>home-lennart.automount</filename> is active and the user | |
83 | accesses <filename>/home/lennart</filename> the mount unit | |
84 | <filename>home-lennart.mount</filename> will be activated.</para> | |
85 | ||
86 | <para>Automount units may be used to implement on-demand mounting | |
87 | as well as parallelized mounting of file systems.</para> | |
88 | ||
89 | <para>If an automount point is beneath another mount point in the | |
90 | file system hierarchy, a dependency between both units is created | |
91 | automatically.</para> | |

95 | <title><filename>fstab</filename></title> | |
96 | ||
97 | <para>Automount units may either be configured via unit files, or | |
98 | via <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> (see | |
99 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> | |
100 | for details).</para> | |
101 | ||
102 | <para>For details how systemd parses | |
103 | <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> see | |
104 | <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para> | |
105 | ||
106 | <para>If an automount point is configured in both | |
107 | <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> and a unit file, the configuration | |
108 | in the latter takes precedence.</para> | |

113 | ||
114 | <para>Automount files must include an [Automount] section, which | |
115 | carries information about the file system automount points it | |
116 | supervises. The options specific to the [Automount] section of | |
117 | automount units are the following:</para> | |
118 | ||
119 | <variablelist class='unit-directives'> | |
120 | ||
121 | <varlistentry> | |
122 | <term><varname>Where=</varname></term> | |
123 | <listitem><para>Takes an absolute path of a directory of the | |
124 | automount point. If the automount point does not exist at time | |
125 | that the automount point is installed, it is created. This | |
126 | string must be reflected in the unit filename. (See above.) | |
127 | This option is mandatory.</para></listitem> | |
128 | </varlistentry> | |
129 | ||
130 | <varlistentry> | |
131 | <term><varname>DirectoryMode=</varname></term> | |
132 | <listitem><para>Directories of automount points (and any | |
133 | parent directories) are automatically created if needed. This | |
134 | option specifies the file system access mode used when | |
135 | creating these directories. Takes an access mode in octal | |
136 | notation. Defaults to 0755.</para></listitem> | |
