See +\fBsystemd.unit\fR(5) +for the common options of all unit configuration files\&. The common configuration items are configured in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections\&. The automount specific configuration options are configured in the [Automount] section\&. +.PP +Automount units must be named after the automount directories they control\&. Example: the automount point +/home/lennart +must be configured in a unit file +home\-lennart\&.automount\&. For details about the escaping logic used to convert a file system path to a unit name see +\fBsystemd.unit\fR(5)\&. +.PP +For each automount unit file a matching mount unit file (see +\fBsystemd.mount\fR(5) +for details) must exist which is activated when the automount path is accessed\&. Example: if an automount unit +home\-lennart\&.automount +is active and the user accesses +/home/lennart +the mount unit +home\-lennart\&.mount +will be activated\&. +.PP +Automount units may be used to implement on\-demand mounting as well as parallelized mounting of file systems\&. +.PP +If an automount point is beneath another mount point in the file system hierarchy, a dependency between both units is created automatically\&. +.SH "FSTAB" +.PP +Automount units may either be configured via unit files, or via +/etc/fstab +(see +\fBfstab\fR(5) +for details)\&. +.PP +For details how systemd parses +/etc/fstab +see +\fBsystemd.mount\fR(5)\&. +.PP +If an automount point is configured in both +/etc/fstab +and a unit file, the configuration in the latter takes precedence\&. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +Automount files must include an [Automount] section, which carries information about the file system automount points it supervises\&. The options specific to the [Automount] section of automount units are the following: +.PP +\fIWhere=\fR +.RS 4 +Takes an absolute path of a directory of the automount point\&. If the automount point does not exist at time that the automount point is installed, it is created\&. This string must be reflected in the unit filename\&. (See above\&.)
