I don't know. For me it works pretty quickly. Haven't noticed any giant
delays.

I'm still suffering from the suspend/problem I mentioned before (although
not all the time), but so far I have the following units files and as long
my computer resumes fine, it all seems to work:


wol-anathem.service:
---------------------------
[Unit]
Description=Wake-on-Lan Anathem
Requires=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/wol MACADDRESS
Type=oneshot

mnt-anathem.mount:
---------------------------
[Mount]
What=//ANATHEM/mysharename
Where=/mnt/anathem
Type=cifs
Options=ip=192.168.1.42,sec=none

[Unit]
Requires=wol-anathem.service
After=wol-anathem.service

mnt-anathem.automount:
---------------------------
[Automount]
Where=/mnt/anathem

[Unit]
Requires=wol-anathem.service
After=wol-anathem.service
