I'd have to play with it to work out the kinks, but I'm pretty sure you'd be better off with a mount unit instead of basically reinventing a mount unit using a service unit. I'd also think that you could also use drop-ins to enhance the auto-generated units created by the fstab generator, if you just wanted to add a dependency or such to a mount unit. However, I've never tried to create a drop-in for a generated unit. Mount units should take any setting in systemd.unit which includes all the ordering/dependency/etc controls. -- Rich -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
