| <title>Description</title> |
| |
| <para><command>systemd-mount</command> may be used to create and start a transient <filename>.mount</filename> or |
| <filename>.automount</filename> unit of the file system <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable> on the mount point |
| <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>.</para> |
| |
| <para>In many ways, <command>systemd-mount</command> is similar to the lower-level |
| <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> command, however instead |
| of executing the mount operation directly and immediately, <command>systemd-mount</command> schedules it through |
| the service manager job queue, so that it may pull in further dependencies (such as parent mounts, or a file system |
| checker to execute a priori), and may make use of the auto-mounting logic.</para> |
| |
| <para>The command takes either one or two arguments. If only one argument is specified it should refer to a block |
| device or regular file containing a file system (e.g. <literal>/dev/sdb1</literal> or |
| <literal>/path/to/disk.img</literal>). If it is a block device, which is then probed for a label and other |
| metadata, and is mounted to a directory whose name is generated from the label. In this mode the block device must |
| exist at the time of invocation of the command, so that it may be probed. If the device is found to be a removable |
| block device (e.g. a USB stick) an automount point instead of a regular mount point is created (i.e. the |
| <option>--automount=</option> option is implied, see below).</para> |
| |
| <para>If two arguments are specified the first indicates the mount source (the <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable>) and |
| the second indicates the path to mount it on (the <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>). In this mode no probing of the |
| source is attempted, and a backing device node doesn't have to exist yet. However, if this mode is combined with |
| <option>--discover</option>, device node probing for additional metadata is enabled, and – much like in the |
| single-argument case discussed above – the specified device has to exist at the time of invocation of the |
| command.</para> |
| |
| <para>Use the <option>--list</option> command to show a terse table of all local, known block devices with file |
| systems that may be mounted with this command.</para> |
| |
| <para><command>systemd-umount</command> can be used to unmount a mount or automount point. It is the same |
| as <command>systemd-mount</command> <option>--umount</option>.</para> |

| start-up is completed. By passing this argument, it is only verified and enqueued.</para> |

| |
| <listitem><para>Enable probing of the mount source. This switch is implied if a single argument is specified on |
| the command line. If passed, additional metadata is read from the device to enhance the unit to create. For |
| example, a descriptive string for the transient units is generated from the file system label and device |
| model. Moreover if a removable block device (e.g. USB stick) is detected an automount unit instead of a regular |
| mount unit is created, with a short idle time-out, in order to ensure the file-system is placed in a clean |
| state quickly after each access.</para></listitem> |

| <varlistentry> |
| <term><option>--automount=</option></term> |
| |
| <listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. Controls whether to create an automount point or a regular mount |
| point. If true an automount point is created that is backed by the actual file system at the time of first |
| access. If false a plain mount point is created that is backed by the actual file system immediately. Automount |
| points have the benefit that the file system stays unmounted and hence in clean state until it is first |
| accessed. In automount mode the <option>--timeout-idle-sec=</option> switch (see below) may be used to ensure |
| the mount point is unmounted automatically after the last access and an idle period passed.</para> |
| |
| <para>If this switch is not specified it defaults to false. If not specified and <option>--discover</option> is |
| used (or only a single argument passed, which implies <option>--discover</option>, see above), and the file |
| system block device is detected to be removable, it is set to true, in order to increase the chance that the |

| <listitem><para>Takes a time value that controls the idle timeout in automount mode. If set to |
