Hi,

because your fs is not terminated (as I understand it) when umounted
(as I read it some caching) the umount action is not the thing systemd
should react on.

That's why I advise to use a pidfile systemd can watch. When ready,
remove the pidfile. I do not know this is possible in the systemd
mount context, but as far as I know with the service files.
