If cifs mounts require privs then yes, this must be done by the system systemd instance, not the user one. > > I am able to create a moutnt mnt-storage_user.mount > > [Unit] > Wants=network.target > After=network.target > > [Mount] > What=//addr/user > Where=/mnt/storage_user > Type=cifs > > > and mnt-shared.automount: > > [Install] > WantedBy=multi-user.target > > configs.

However, you cannot use it to do NSS lookups in the system instance of systemd, which means %u only works if you specify User= with a user name, while %U will only work if you specifiy User= numerically. (Well, with one addition, the translation of 0 to root and back will always work, as special case). I figure the best approach for such a generic thing would be to use the normal autofs daemon, which can do establish generic mounts for this, per user.
