Being able to attach dependencies in a .mount unit to a .service unit is something that would have required a bunch of hacks or the autofs service. > > I use a network filesystem every day that has a .mount unit that requires a .service to be launched before it can be mounted (kAFS, see kafs-utils package). It isn’t as complicated as the usb power on/off, but not outside of the realm of possibility. I modified the .mount and .service files from kasf-client, and added a .automount file. I also commented out the appropriate line in /etc/fstab. # cat raid.mount [Unit] Description=External raid mount ConditionPathExists=/raid Wants=dock.service [Mount] What=none Where=/raid Type=ext4 [Install] WantedBy=local-fs.target # cat dock.service [Unit] Description=Power the dock up or down After=local-fs.target DefaultDependencies=no [Service] Type=oneshot #ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe -q kafs ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/dock up ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/dock down # cat raid.automount [Unit] Description=Automount /raid [Automount] Where=/raid TimeoutIdleSec=300 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target I then rebooted: # findmnt /raid # # systemctl list-units|egrep dock\|raid raid-check.timer loaded active waiting Weekly RAID setup health check (not relevant here) So nothing I did appears to have had any effect. The /usr/local/bin/dock script, which logs its activity, is not being called. The raid.automount is not running, and attempting to access the /raid directory does nothing. There is nothing related to either 'dock' or 'raid' in the journal. I assume there must be a basic error here, but I'm at a loss. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
