But I'd recommend adding After=local-fs.target here, to ensure your automount unit is established after /var is, if that's on a separate partition. > and the nfs-idmap.service is: > [Unit] > Description=Name to UID/GID mapping for NFSv4. > After=syslog.target network.target var-lib-nfs-rpc_pipefs.automount > ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/module/sunrpc Is this really dependent on the network? If not I'd recommend to ordering this after network.target. Also, in F16 we will no longer support non-socket-activated syslogs (all existing implementations have support for socket actviation upstream), so the After=syslog.target is not necessary anymore. > [Service] > Type=forking > EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/nfs > ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rpc.idmapd $RPCIDMAPDARGS > > [Install] > WantedBy=multi-user.target > > Now I know for a fact that /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs > is being mount *after* the nfs-idmap.service > is run, because: being mounted?

Is this how autmounts are > suppose be used? Yes, this looks like a good usecase. Hmm, does the automount point work after boot? How does the output of "systemctl list-units" look like for the automount and mount unit?
