Convert an fstab entry to a systemd mount unit on CoreOS

Question

I want to convert the following fstab entry to a systemd mount unit on CoreOS,

/dev/xvdb /data ext4 defaults,auto,noatime,noexec 0 0

I created data.mount,

[Unit]
Description=MongoDB Data Directory

[Mount]
What=/dev/xvdb
Where=/data
Type=ext4
Options=defaults,auto,noatime,noexec 0 0

However, I had to remove 0 0 because the unit failed to start.

[Unit]
Description=MongoDB Data Directory

[Mount]
What=/dev/xvdb
Where=/data
Type=ext4
Options=defaults,auto,noatime,noexec

The unit above starts, but I'm not sure about the Options= string. Reading about the fstab options I wonder if some are redundant.

According to Ubuntu Fstab - Community Help Wiki

auto - The filesystem can be mounted automatically (at bootup, or when mount is passed the -a option). This is really unnecessary as this is the default action of mount -a anyway.

defaults - Use default settings. Equivalent to rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, async.

This leads me to the following unit,

[Unit]
Description=MongoDB Data Directory

[Mount]
What=/dev/xvdb
Where=/data
Type=ext4
Options=defaults,noatime,noexec

Is this the proper way to create a mount unit using systemd on CoreOS?

Solution 1

defaults is redundant. When any other options are in use, it can be omitted. It only exists to fill the relevant column in fstab.

And since auto is already a default, it too is redundant.

Solution 2

Yes, it is the proper way to create a mount unit using systemd.
