Why can't I automount NFS directory using systemd units?

Hi @Individual-Heart-719,

I’ve never done anything with NFS, always had to use SAMBA, but I know you should:

  1. Not have anything mounted in /run, as /run is volatile and not for permanent mounts. Rather use /mnt, that’s what it’s there for.
  2. Don’t have any entries for the drive both in /etc/fstab and a systemd unit for it. Choose 1 option only. I recommend systemd units. Mine works like an absolute charm.
  3. Rather use the IP address for the NFS share.

Hope it helps!
