#172447 — /etc/fstab and systemd

hi all :-)

I migrated my pc to systemd (!), in /etc/fstab I've

/dev/sdb1	/test	ext4	x-systemd.automount	0	0
(I use UUID but to semplify I wrote /dev/sdb1)

this line works but only on some pc

what is the correct way to mount a disk automatically at start up of system?

thanks!

Pol

Changing the content of your files is not "simplifying".  It's mangling.

This is what jessie does by default:

UUID=1a20ffb7-897c-4373-84c1-14089a6deab8 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=b8d67062-8262-476d-9370-8166f7572fd3 none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/sr0        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

Or, on a system with a separate /home:

UUID=404cbcbe-cc34-44e6-b8cf-845c3ceb56e7 /home           ext4    defaults        0       2

In short, there's no special magic used by fstab on a jessie/systemd
system.  It's just like an fstab from wheezy.  Let systemd handle the
mounting in its regular way.

Just like before. There's no need to change anything.

Just remove the x-systemd.automount. Replace it with 'defaults' or
whatever other options you like.

Unless a volume is marked with specific systemd options to *not* mount
it automatically, systemd will mount everything in fstab at boot.

"/dev/sdb1 /test ext4 auto,users,exec,relatime 0 0"

You do realize that will mount the folder named 'test' you have created 
on root.  If you do not have a folder named 'test' on root/ in will not 
work.
You may want to put the mount folder named 'test' in your home folder, 
ie /home/username/test. I mount to a folder named '1-Linux' so that it 
will be at the top of my home directory. I hope that helps.
