How to start a systemd mount process on user login

Hi,

I am trying to start an automount service after user login of a webdav resource.
I followed the instructions on this site:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Davfs2
But as my home folder is decrypted at login the services don't work.
Any solutions?

Best regards!

Try to change TimeoutSec variable in your mnt-webdav-service.mount.
...or add this service on the user level not system.
...or add this line
After=systemd-user-sessions.service
in the [Unit]-section of your service.

Re: How to start a systemd mount process on user login

Thank you very much for your answer. I have tried all your suggestions but:

The TimoutSec did not work as the home folder wasn't decrypted and mounted yet (done by PAM).
Adding the service to the user level did not work (moving it to ~/.config/systemd/user/) as only root is able to mount
After=systemd-user-sessions.service did not work as it seems to be started before login.

Any other suggestions?

I could make some suggestions if I see some logs and configs.

In the end I decided to mount the folders outside my home directory and create a symlink to it. Thank you for your help.
