[systemd-devel] possible bugs w/ defining .mount services

Hi,

Am I wrong to believe that with one can interchangeably refer to .mount
units via their paths?  It seems to work inconsistently. (this all with
version 215).

In a service, if I specify

    BindsTo=backup.mount

Where backup.mount is a systemd unit, the service is correctly stopped
when the path is unmounted. If I use

    BindsTo=/backup

It does not. (Not with 'systemctl stop /backup').

Similarly, if I use the backup.mount form for Before=, things work as
they should, but Before=/backup results in

    Failed to add dependency on /backup, ignoring: Invalid argument


Many thanks,
