Here's how to mount an nfs share:

#cat /etc/systemd/system/mnt.data.mount

[Unit]
Description=nfs mount script

[Mount]
What=192.168.0.30:/mnt/tank/Media
Where=/mnt/data
Type=nfs4

[Install]
WantedBy=remote-fs.target

I’ve always mounted network shares in fstab, what’s the benefit to doing it with systemd?

(Also, for those of you learning, this method only works on systemd-based distros)

you can stop and start it via systemctl and systemd is going to make mounts for fstab entries automatically, I just put local drives in my fstab so that way I can copy mount files between machines

With these systemd mount files I don't need to touch the fstab, I can use ansible to copy the file, enable the service then start it. I can also have other services like Docker, Jellyfin or whatever to depend on that service. If the nfs share can't be mounted then systemd won't try to start docker.
