The intention isn't for most users to rely on the generator; it's only there so systemd can consistently manage mounts both native and from fstab. The intention is that folks like you add .mount units for what you need mounted. > I don't know if this interferes with other goals of fstab-generator, but one solution would be to create the mount unit on-the-fly for units with mount option "noauto". I'm not sure that would work, but you could change what's in a single .mount unit and daemon-reload systemd to use the altered version. I discourage excessive use of daemon-reload for performance reasons, though. You could also mount a "file system" in a script like /usr/sbin/mount.mydynamicfs, which would be a mount unit of Type=mydynamicfs. You can put whatever logic you want into the script that performs the mount.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
