<para>Automount units may be used to implement on-demand mounting
as well as parallelized mounting of file systems.</para>
+
+ <para>Note that automount units are separate from the mount itself, so you
+ should not set <varname>After=</varname> or <varname>Requires=</varname>
+ for mount dependencies here. For example, you should not set
+ <varname>After=network-online.target</varname> or similar on network
+ filesystems. Doing so may result in an ordering cycle.</para>
