29.Sh NAME
30.Nm zfs-mount-generator
31.Nd generate systemd mount units for ZFS filesystems
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Pa @systemdgeneratordir@/zfs-mount-generator
34.
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36.Nm
37is a
38.Xr systemd.generator 7
39that generates native
40.Xr systemd.mount 5
41units for configured ZFS datasets.
42.
43.Ss Properties
44.Bl -tag -compact -width "org.openzfs.systemd:required-by=unit[ unit]…"
45.It Sy mountpoint Ns =
46.No Skipped if Sy legacy No or Sy none .
47.
48.It Sy canmount Ns =
49.No Skipped if Sy off .
50.No Skipped if only Sy noauto
51datasets exist for a given mountpoint and there's more than one.
52.No Datasets with Sy yes No take precedence over ones with Sy noauto No for the same mountpoint.
53.No Sets logical Em noauto No flag if Sy noauto .
54Encryption roots always generate
55.Sy zfs-load-key@ Ns Ar root Ns Sy .service ,
56even if
57.Sy off .
58.
59.It Sy atime Ns = , Sy relatime Ns = , Sy devices Ns = , Sy exec Ns = , Sy readonly Ns = , Sy setuid Ns = , Sy nbmand Ns =
60Used to generate mount options equivalent to
61.Nm zfs Cm mount .
62.
63.It Sy encroot Ns = , Sy keylocation Ns =
64If the dataset is an encryption root, its mount unit will bind to
65.Sy zfs-load-key@ Ns Ar root Ns Sy .service ,
66with additional dependencies as follows:
67.Bl -tag -compact -offset Ds -width "keylocation=https://URL (et al.)"
68.It Sy keylocation Ns = Ns Sy prompt
69None, uses
70.Xr systemd-ask-password 1
71.It Sy keylocation Ns = Ns Sy https:// Ns Ar URL Pq et al.\&
72.Sy Wants Ns = , Sy After Ns = : Pa network-online.target
73.It Sy keylocation Ns = Ns Sy file:// Ns < Ns Ar path Ns >
74.Sy RequiresMountsFor Ns = Ns Ar path
75.El
76.
77The service also uses the same
78.Sy Wants Ns = ,
79.Sy After Ns = ,
80.Sy Requires Ns = , No and
81.Sy RequiresMountsFor Ns = ,
82as the mount unit.
83.
84.It Sy org.openzfs.systemd:requires Ns = Ns Pa path Ns Oo " " Ns Pa path Oc Ns …
85.No Sets Sy Requires Ns = for the mount- and key-loading unit.
86.
87.It Sy org.openzfs.systemd:requires-mounts-for Ns = Ns Pa path Ns Oo " " Ns Pa path Oc Ns …
88.No Sets Sy RequiresMountsFor Ns = for the mount- and key-loading unit.
89.
90.It Sy org.openzfs.systemd:before Ns = Ns Pa unit Ns Oo " " Ns Pa unit Oc Ns …
91.No Sets Sy Before Ns = for the mount unit.
92.
93.It Sy org.openzfs.systemd:after Ns = Ns Pa unit Ns Oo " " Ns Pa unit Oc Ns …
94.No Sets Sy After Ns = for the mount unit.
95.
96.It Sy org.openzfs.systemd:wanted-by Ns = Ns Pa unit Ns Oo " " Ns Pa unit Oc Ns …
97.No Sets logical Em noauto No flag (see below).
98.No If not Sy none , No sets Sy WantedBy Ns = for the mount unit.
99.It Sy org.openzfs.systemd:required-by Ns = Ns Pa unit Ns Oo " " Ns Pa unit Oc Ns …
100.No Sets logical Em noauto No flag (see below).
101.No If not Sy none , No sets Sy RequiredBy Ns = for the mount unit.
102.
103.It Sy org.openzfs.systemd:nofail Ns = Ns (unset) Ns | Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
104Waxes or wanes strength of default reverse dependencies of the mount unit, see below.
105.
106.It Sy org.openzfs.systemd:ignore Ns = Ns Sy on Ns | Ns Sy off
107.No Skip if Sy on .
108.No Defaults to Sy off .
109.El
110.
111.Ss Unit Ordering And Dependencies
112Additionally, unless the pool the dataset resides on
113is imported at generation time, both units gain
114.Sy Wants Ns = Ns Pa zfs-import.target
115and
116.Sy After Ns = Ns Pa zfs-import.target .
117.Pp
118Additionally, unless the logical
119.Em noauto
120flag is set, the mount unit gains a reverse-dependency for
121.Pa local-fs.target
122of strength
123.Bl -tag -compact -offset Ds -width "(unset)"
124.It (unset)
125.Sy WantedBy Ns = No + Sy Before Ns =
126.It Sy on
127.Sy WantedBy Ns =
128.It Sy off
129.Sy RequiredBy Ns = No + Sy Before Ns =
130.El
131.
132.Ss Cache File
133Because ZFS pools may not be available very early in the boot process,
134information on ZFS mountpoints must be stored separately.
135The output of
136.Dl Nm zfs Cm list Fl Ho Ar name , Ns Aq every property above in order
137for datasets that should be mounted by systemd should be kept at
138.Pa @sysconfdir@/zfs/zfs-list.cache/ Ns Ar poolname ,
139and, if writeable, will be kept synchronized for the entire pool by the
140.Pa history_event-zfs-list-cacher.sh
141ZEDLET, if enabled
142.Pq see Xr zed 8 .
143.
144.Sh ENVIRONMENT
145The
146.Sy ZFS_DEBUG
147environment variable can either be
148.Sy 0
149(default),
150.Sy 1
151(print summary accounting information at the end), or at least
152.Sy 2
153(print accounting information for each subprocess as it finishes).
154.
155If not present,
156.Pa /proc/cmdline
157is additionally checked for
158.Qq debug ,
159in which case the debug level is set to
160.Sy 2 .
161.
162.Sh EXAMPLES
163To begin, enable tracking for the pool:
164.Dl # Nm touch Pa @sysconfdir@/zfs/zfs-list.cache/ Ns Ar poolname
165Then enable the tracking ZEDLET:
166.Dl # Nm ln Fl s Pa @zfsexecdir@/zed.d/history_event-zfs-list-cacher.sh @sysconfdir@/zfs/zed.d
167.Dl # Nm systemctl Cm enable Pa zfs-zed.service
168.Dl # Nm systemctl Cm restart Pa zfs-zed.service
169.Pp
170If no history event is in the queue,
171inject one to ensure the ZEDLET runs to refresh the cache file
172by setting a monitored property somewhere on the pool:
173.Dl # Nm zfs Cm set Sy relatime Ns = Ns Sy off Ar poolname/dset
174.Dl # Nm zfs Cm inherit Sy relatime Ar poolname/dset
175.Pp
176To test the generator output:
177.Dl $ Nm mkdir Pa /tmp/zfs-mount-generator
178.Dl $ Nm @systemdgeneratordir@/zfs-mount-generator Pa /tmp/zfs-mount-generator
179.
180If the generated units are satisfactory, instruct
181.Nm systemd
182to re-run all generators:
183.Dl # Nm systemctl daemon-reload
184.
