"noauto,x-systemd.automount" would work but is it what the OP wants? He could've used autofs if he wanted an automount and didn't know about systemd's integrated automount feature. > My understanding of NetworkManager-wait-online is to make sure that > network connections are disconnected before the network is taken down > on a reboot/shutdown.

In the same way that the wait-online unit ensures that the nfs shares are unmounted before the network is taken down, it ensures that the network is up before the nfs shares are mounted. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
