[solved] systemd 219: automount doesn't work anymore

To mount a directory with sshfs on another Arch system in my local net I added this to fstab:

root@192.168.0.6:/var/cache/pacman/pkg /var/cache/pacman/pkg fuse.sshfs x-systemd.automount,_netdev,user,noatime,idmap=user,transform_symlinks,identityfile=/root/.ssh/id_rsa,allow_other,default_permissions,reconnect 0 0

I need it to use a local pacman directory globally so new packages will be downloaded only once for all my Arch pc's.

This has worked for a long time but since systemd 219-1 nothing happens. Mounting it manually using fstab works. I switched back to systemd 218-2 and it works fine again.

Thanks, lw.

Same here for cifs and ntfs4 mounts in fstab. Downgrade from 219-2 to 218-2 fixes this.
Example fstab entry:

//sambaserver/myshare    /home/me/server/myshare      cifs x-systemd.automount,sec=ntlmv2,nobrl,user=me,password=mypw,workgroup=My.LAN 0 0

works with 218-2 but not with 219-2. Timing issue?

Manually mounting the directories on console after boot works:

mount //sambaserver/myshare

It seems to be a general problem for systemd automounts needing the network. It doesn't depend on the filesystem to be mounted.

I've seen it's already in the bugtracker.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43915 - git bisecting would be helpful what commit made it break.

It's a feature not a bug (see discussion in bugtracker)

systemctl enable remote-fs.target

did the trick.
