$ systemd-mount [path/to/device] [path/to/mount_point]

List all known block devices with mountable filesystems

$ systemd-mount --list

Create an automount point

$ systemd-mount --automount yes [path/to/device]

Unmount one or more devices

$ systemd-mount -u [path/to/mount_point]

Mount with a specific filesystem type

$ systemd-mount -t [filesystem_type] [path/to/device] [path/to/mount_point]

Mount with additional options

SYNOPSIS

systemd-mount [options] what [where]

systemd-mount creates and destroys transient mount or automount points using systemd's mount handling. It creates temporary mount units that are automatically cleaned up when unmounted.
The tool integrates with systemd's device and mount management, supporting features like automount (on-demand mounting) and proper tracking of mount states through systemd units.

PARAMETERS

--list

List known block devices with mountable filesystems

--automount _bool_

Create an automount point

-u, --umount

-t, --type _fstype_

Specify filesystem type

-o, --options _opts_

Mount options

--owner _user_

Set the owner of the mount point

-A, --automount

Create automount unit

--discover

CAVEATS

Mount points created are transient and don't persist across reboots. For persistent mounts, use fstab or create proper systemd mount units. Part of the systemd suite.
