You could just use systemd mounts like a normal person. Fstab is for critical partitions

Hush everyone, don't tell this guy about noauto, it'll burst his bubble

I've never seen it used in the wild

Jesus, I mount everything manually from noauto, except root.

If nfs isn't available, I don't want my system to hang, typing mount takes 2 seconds.

Wouldn't your NFS not mount in that case? Wouldn't you want it to retry periodically? Also, what happens to your service when NFS isn't available?

Sounds like systemd mounts are better in this case (unless the device is non critical)

I mount it manually when I'm sure everything is up.

The issue is, I use this workstation to bring up the rest of my network and servers if they're down, can't have a hard dependency on nfs if it's job is to bring up nfs.

This happened to me when Debian switched from SysV to systemd. I am not the only person who experienced this (e.g., https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=147478 ).

This is not to say the systemd behavior is wrong, but it essentially changed the behavior of fstab. Whether this is Debian's fault, Arch's fault (per the above link), systemd's fault, or my fault is a fair question. But this committed that most egregious of sins per our Lord and Savior Torvalds


it broke my userspace.

That was a really long time ago. (2015) I don't understand why you are holding a grudge for almost 10 years. Most people have never used a system without systemd.
