Without this patch applied the mount unit with 'automount' option was still
pulled by local-fs.target and thus was activated during the boot process which
defeats the purpose of the 'automount' option:
$ grep /mnt /etc/fstab
/dev/vdb1 /mnt ext2 defaults,x-systemd.automount 0 0
$ reboot
...
$ mount | grep mnt
systemd-1 on /mnt type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=34,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct)
/dev/vdb1 on /mnt type ext2 (rw,relatime)
$ systemctl status mnt.mount | grep Active
Active: active (mounted) since Thu 2016-03-03 21:36:22 CET; 42s ago
With the patch applied:
$ reboot
...
$ mount | grep mnt
systemd-1 on /mnt type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=22,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct)
$ systemctl status mnt.mount | grep Active
Active: inactive (dead)
$ ls /mnt
lost+found
$ systemctl status mnt.mount | grep Active
