The task is simple: mount a partition at the *right* time. The system is OpenElec 6.0, which is based on CoreOS. /etc/fstab is on a squashfs, i.e. it cannot be easily modified and is empty: OpenELEC:~/.config/system.d # cat /etc/fstab OpenELEC:~/.config/system.d # I would like to mount /storage/.kodi/.local/storage/sdcard after /storage is mounted and before systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service starts executing: I created this .mount unit file: OpenELEC:~/.config/system.d # cat storage-.kodi-.local-storage-sdcard.mount [Unit] Description=sdcard mount script #Requires=storage.mount #After=storage.mount ConditionPathExists=/storage/.kodi/.local/storage/sdcard Conflicts=umount.target Before=umount.target systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service [Mount] What=/dev/mmcblk0p1 Where=/storage/.kodi/.local/storage/sdcard Options= Type=ext4 [Install] WantedBy=local-fs.target OpenELEC:~/.config/system.d # When booting, I get A start job is running for dev-mmcblk0p1.device (xys / 1min 30s) The device is mounted: OpenELEC:~ # mount|grep mmcblk0p1 /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /var/media/mmcblk0p1-mmc-USD_0xc840a5b2-p type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,data=ordered) /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /storage/.kodi/.local/storage/sdcard type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered) OpenELEC:~ # But there is a failed unit: OpenELEC:~ # systemctl --failed --no-pager UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service loaded failed failed Create Volatile Files and Directories LOAD = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded. ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB. SUB = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type. 1 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too. To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

Therefore any insight is welcome. If you need more information, I am happy to provide more information. Many thanks, Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch http://bokomoko.de/</body></html>
