I have written the following automount unit for systemd: /etc/systemd/user/home-federico-Cloud-unipg.automount ----------------------------------------------------- [Unit] Description="automount" [Automount] Where=/home/federico/Cloud/unipg [Install] WantedBy=default.target The mount unit is: /etc/systemd/user/home-federico-Cloud-unipg.mount ------------------------------------------------- [Unit] Description="mount" [Mount] Type=rclone What=unipg: Where=/home/federico/Cloud/unipg Options=vfs-cache-mode=full,config=/home/federico/.config/rclone/rclone.conf,cache-dir=/var/rclone ---------- After --user reloading the systemd daemon, I run the command systemctl --user enable --now home-federico-Cloud-unipg.automount and I get the following error in systemctl status: home-federico-Cloud-unipg.automount: Failed with result 'resources'. Failed to set up automount "automount". The command journalctl -xe is not helpful since it says: A start job for unit UNIT has finished with a failure. ---------- The mount unit is working because if I run systemctl --user start home-federico-Cloud-unipg.mount I get the storage correctly mounted, so the problem is somewhere in the automount part. Moreover, if I repeat the process as a system instance instead of user instance (replacing default.target with multi-user.target) I get the thing to work, even though the mountpoint is not accessible to user. Can somebody help me to troubleshoot this?
