.TH ZFS-MOUNT-GENERATOR 8 "Aug 24, 2020" OpenZFS
.SH "NAME"
zfs\-mount\-generator \- generates systemd mount units for ZFS
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B @systemdgeneratordir@/zfs\-mount\-generator
.sp
.SH DESCRIPTION
zfs\-mount\-generator implements the \fBGenerators Specification\fP
of
.BR systemd (1),
and is called during early boot to generate
.BR systemd.mount (5)
units for automatically mounted datasets. Mount ordering and dependencies
are created for all tracked pools (see below).
.SS ENCRYPTION KEYS
If the dataset is an encryption root, a service that loads the associated key (either from file or through a
.BR systemd\-ask\-password (1)
prompt) will be created. This service
. BR RequiresMountsFor
the path of the key (if file-based) and also copies the mount unit's
.BR After ,
.BR Before
and
.BR Requires .
All mount units of encrypted datasets add the key\-load service for their encryption root to their
.BR Wants
and
.BR After .
The service will not be
.BR Want ed
or
.BR Require d
by
.BR local-fs.target
directly, and so will only be started manually or as a dependency of a started mount unit.
.SS UNIT ORDERING AND DEPENDENCIES
mount unit's
.BR Before
\->
key\-load service (if any)
\->
mount unit
\->
mount unit's
.BR After
It is worth nothing that when a mount unit is activated, it activates all available mount units for parent paths to its mountpoint, i.e. activating the mount unit for /tmp/foo/1/2/3 automatically activates all available mount units for /tmp, /tmp/foo, /tmp/foo/1, and /tmp/foo/1/2. This is true for any combination of mount units from any sources, not just ZFS.
.SS CACHE FILE
Because ZFS pools may not be available very early in the boot process,
information on ZFS mountpoints must be stored separately. The output of the command

.SS PROPERTIES
The behavior of the generator script can be influenced by the following dataset properties:
.sp
.TP 4
.BR canmount = on | off | noauto
If a dataset has
.BR mountpoint
set and
.BR canmount
is not
.BR off ,
a mount unit will be generated.
Additionally, if
.BR canmount
is
.BR on ,
.BR local-fs.target
will gain a dependency on the mount unit.
This behavior is equal to the
.BR auto
and
.BR noauto
legacy mount options, see
.BR systemd.mount (5).
Encryption roots always generate a key-load service, even for
.BR canmount=off .
.TP 4
.BR org.openzfs.systemd:requires\-mounts\-for = \fIpath\fR...
Space\-separated list of mountpoints to require to be mounted for this mount unit
.TP 4
.BR org.openzfs.systemd:before = \fIunit\fR...
The mount unit and associated key\-load service will be ordered before this space\-separated list of units.
.TP 4
.BR org.openzfs.systemd:after = \fIunit\fR...
The mount unit and associated key\-load service will be ordered after this space\-separated list of units.
.TP 4
.BR org.openzfs.systemd:wanted\-by = \fIunit\fR...
Space-separated list of units that will gain a
.BR Wants
dependency on this mount unit.
Setting this property implies
.BR noauto .
.TP 4
.BR org.openzfs.systemd:required\-by = \fIunit\fR...
Space-separated list of units that will gain a
.BR Requires
dependency on this mount unit.
Setting this property implies
.BR noauto .
.TP 4
.BR org.openzfs.systemd:nofail = unset | on | off
Toggles between a
.BR Wants
and
.BR Requires
type of dependency between the mount unit and
.BR local-fs.target ,
if
.BR noauto
isn't set or implied.
.BR on :
Mount will be
.BR WantedBy
local-fs.target
.BR off :
Mount will be
.BR Before
and
.BR RequiredBy
local-fs.target
.BR unset :
Mount will be
.BR Before
and
.BR WantedBy
local-fs.target
.TP 4
.BR org.openzfs.systemd:ignore = on | off
If set to
.BR on ,
do not generate a mount unit for this dataset.

.SH EXAMPLE
To begin, enable tracking for the pool:
.PP
.RS 4
touch
.RI @sysconfdir@/zfs/zfs-list.cache/ POOLNAME
.RE
.PP
Then, enable the tracking ZEDLET:
.PP
.RS 4
ln -s "@zfsexecdir@/zed.d/history_event-zfs-list-cacher.sh" "@sysconfdir@/zfs/zed.d"
systemctl enable zfs-zed.service
systemctl restart zfs-zed.service
.RE
.PP
Force the running of the ZEDLET by setting a monitored property, e.g.
.BR canmount ,
for at least one dataset in the pool:
.PP
.RS 4
zfs set canmount=on
.I DATASET
.RE
.PP
This forces an update to the stale cache file.
To test the generator output, run
.PP
.RS 4
@systemdgeneratordir@/zfs-mount-generator /tmp/zfs-mount-generator . .
.RE
.PP
This will generate units and dependencies in
.I /tmp/zfs-mount-generator
for you to inspect them. The second and third argument are ignored.
If you're satisfied with the generated units, instruct systemd to re-run all generators:
.PP
.RS 4
systemctl daemon-reload
