Description mus.svz 2012-05-30 07:52:01 UTC 
I recently added the following fstab entry for a samba share:
//server/videos /mnt/videos cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,username=***,password=*** 0 0

the resulting mount file /run/systemd/generator/mnt-videos.mount fails to start:

May 30 16:20:46 laptop mount[1853]: mount.cifs: bad UNC (/server/videos)

This happens because the mount file actually contains What=/server/videos with just a single slash, while it should contain What=//server/videos as specificed in /etc/fstab. Copying the file to /etc/systemd/system and editing the What= line fixes the problem.

Arch Linux x64 (testing)
systemd 183

I downgraded back to systemd 44 and it happens there too btw.
