Public bug reported: With the following systemd mount unit file
[Unit] Description=Additional drive [Mount] What=/dev/disk/by-label/some-label Where=/media/disk-with-some-label DirectoryMode=0777 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target and the following automount unit file [Unit] Description=Automount Additional Drive [Automount] Where=/media/disk-with-some-label DirectoryMode=0777 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target If I do systemctl start <unit-file-name-of-automount-unitfile> and check the permissions on /media/disk-with-some-label it is 0755 instead of 0777. I checked that /media/disk-with-some-label did not exist before starting the service.
