(In reply to Neil Brown from comment #8) > Next question, what does > systemctl show mnt.mount > show. I'm particularly looking for a "RequiredBy" line or maybe "WantedBy" # systemctl show mnt.mount | egrep 'RequiredBy|WantedBy' RequiredBy=mnt-tahan.mount mnt-tahan-01_RSH.mount > Also, please see if > systemctl show '*' | grep RequiresMountsFor=/mnt > finds any matches. # systemctl show '*' | grep RequiresMountsFor=/mnt RequiresMountsFor=/mnt/tahan RequiresMountsFor=/mnt I thought the Options= line in /run/systemd/generator/mnt.mount was weird with a 'fg' and 'bg' Options=x-systemd.mount-timeout=infinity,retry=10000,noauto,bg,nodev,nosuid,proto=tcp6,vers=4.1,fg Even though the /etc/fstab entry is 'bg' only.
