In systemd we auto-generate all sorts of implicit requirement and ordering dependencies between mount points and the devices they are mounted from. This allows many neat tricks, for example we automatically order mounts for /foo/bar and /foo properly, so that /foo is mounted first and /foo/bar is mounted second, even though the devices might have appeared in the device tree in the reverse order. I also added implicit dependencies so that a device showing up that is listed in /etc/fstab causes the device to be mounted. I figured this would be nice behaviour and we basically get it for free, and actually I still think it is. So, to turn this around. Do you think this behaviour is problematic? Can you make a good case for dropping this automatism? If so I'd be willing to do so.
