With systemd, mount units may either be configured via unit files, or via /etc/fstab. Mounts listed in /etc/fstab are converted into native units dynamically using systemd-fstab-generator at boot time or when the system manager configuration is reloaded. In general, configuring mount points through /etc/fstab is the preferred approach.
