Hello, Say want a service unit which mounts some stuff, then does further steps (create some initial files, etc..). The problem here is that it is not automatically ordered in regards to mounts in the subdirectories or some other dependencies like RequiresMountsFor - that would happen with a mount unit.
Add them to /etc/fstab with "noauto" and use RequiresMountsFor. Unless I misunderstand what you need.
So the idea would be to add a dummy mount unit with a dependency to the service. like this: [Unit] Description=My dummy mount After=realmount.service [Mount] # What were need to be adapted to what realmount.service does What=* Where=/mountpoint Type=* Options=remount Any thought on this? Without a mount unit there is alot of implicit stuff thats hard to recreate. Another option would be that realmount.service mounts on another path, then the dummy mount unit doing a "bind mount" or move, but I am not sure systemd allows that? Norbert
