NFS mount via systemd
cloudnull.ioSometimes you feel like fstab, sometimes you don't. If you're running modern Linux and are wanting to invest all of your brain power in a systemd thing-a-me and you're wishing there's was systemd way to mount a file-system(s), you're in luck! In this post I'm going to quickly cover

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nice post. Why did you choose to go with systemd over fstab? What advantages did it give you?
I don’t get it either, especially when it is even easier to use systemd-automount from fstab than creating units for.
in fstab:
server:/share /path/to/share nfs nfsvers=4,acl,users,rw,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=7,_netdev 0 0while with units, it’s two files with path encoded in the filenames + installation. It makes “sense” but it is not convenient IMHO.
I am not the author of this shared article, but I had similar question some years ago, which was answered here. I hope that helps. Of course lots of things are in the meantime addressed.
Thanks for the post. It seems to conclude that using fstab is the best way to go.
