Hey Phillip, would you please give me some documentation for reference. I could not find something about 'x-' on
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt or man mount Maybe you misunderstood my intention. Consider the following line that is similar to one in my fstab: //mediaserver/multimedia /mnt/samba/mediaserver/multimedia cifs auto,user,dir_mode=0007,file_mode=0117,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/someuser/.smb/credential-file 0 0 If you have this situation (it could be resolved in different ways) /home that could be on a network drive as well has to be mounted before /mnt/samba/mediaserver/multimedia. Unfortunately the systemd-fstab-generator has no way to figure out the dependency between those mounts. So my suggestion is to add an extra option so the line would look like: //mediaserver/multimedia /mnt/samba/mediaserver/multimedia cifs requires=LABEL:HOME,auto,user,dir_mode=0007,file_mode=0117,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/someuser/.smb/credential-file 0 0 then systemd could figure out that /home has to be mounted before /mnt/samba/mediaserver/multimedia. more general something like: option=type:target where option in {requires, wants, ...} and type in {LABEL, UUID, DEV, PATH} If the fstab would look like this the systemd-fstab-generator could be guided to create correct dependencies. I can imagine many more cases (e.g. nested mounts) where some guidance could be helpful. Cheers!
