--- Comment #4 from Milan Knížek <knizek.confy at gmail.com> ---
Hm, I did test it all again and this time it seems to work. I.e.

1. Modify fstab (added cifs automount in my case)

2. 'systemctl daemon-reload'

3. 'systemctl list-units --all | grep "automount"' lists the new mounts

4. 'systemctl start my-share.automount'

5. 'ls -la /path/to/my-share' shows the files

Similarly, it works for removing the shares from fstab and stopping the
automount service.

Sorry for the fuss. When I tested few days ago, I may have not used the '--all'
switch, otherwise I cannot explain it to myself. I have also updated the OS in
the meantime, though I guess it would be quite a coincidence if there was a bug
earlier and resolved now.


To sum it up, I'd propose to modify the man page to make it clear that point 2
and 4 must be run manually after fstab is modified.

Thanks for your work.
