   can anyone point me to use cases for mount units in systemd?
   
   (other than "replacing /etc/fstab bc of immutable /usr-only installs" or smth)

     @navi Well not systemd but I ended up rolling two openrc scripts (zpool & zpool-mount, used via symlinks to get the pool name) to mount specific filesystems that some services sadly depend on, like mpd and transmission-daemon needing access to my storage pool rather than just the /

     And for similar reasons, would also be neat to be able to have network mounts on separated services rather than netmount as a big block.

     @lanodan i'm considering merging localmount and netmount in a single script, which would be multiplexable (so symlinks) and configurable, and could potentially be similar to systemd mounts
     
     but i want to actually understand all use cases before coming up with some design
