Idle timeout for NFS share mounted with systemd automount
I want to configure my /etc/fstab so that my NFS share was automatically:
- mounted when accessed (auto-mount on-demand),
- unmounted after specified idle timeout (x-systemd.idle-timeout).
AFAIK, I can achieve this behavior using AutoFS or systemd automount. I prefer systemd because I don't want to install additional packages unless needed.
This is excerpt from my /etc/fstab (I followed this tutorial):
192.168.1.14:/home/someuser/somedir /mnt/someuser_share nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=30,x-systemd.idle-timeout=1min,_netdev 0 0
Note that in the above line there is:
x-systemd.idle-timeout=1min
but it doesn't work. After waiting 1 minute without using /mnt/someuser_shar it is still mounted.
Why it doesn't work as expected?
Note that after system bootup my share is not mounted as expected. After I type eg. ls /mnt/someuser_share it's mounted (if 192.168.1.14 is online). After next 1 minute I would expect that my share will be unmounted, but it isn't.
I'm using Debian Stable, ie. Debian Stretch (9.6). systemd version: 232.
As a side note: I'm aware that systemd reads /etc/fstab and creates unit files, specifically automount and mount unit files that can be listed using systemctl command and viewed using systemctl cat name-of-the-unit-file.
