I am trying to develop a better understanding of how luks [auto]decrypting and fs [auto]mounting operate under systemD, based on observations as I work through some issues setting up a replacement devbox; vanilla ubuntu 20.04, and relevant to this question has an (existing) btrfs disk array; 3 hdd's in raid1.
I noticed the following unit
mnt-data\x2darray.mount loaded active mounted /mnt/data-array
I have the following crypttab
and fstab
entries:
data_array_disk1 /dev/disk/by-uuid/[uuid] /[keyfile]
/dev/mapper/data_array_disk1 /mnt/data-array defaults,subvol=/ 0 2
I can see from the systemd.mount
manpage how the mnt-data.*
name is likely formed, but the manpage (and google) have nothing for x2darray.mount
The name sounds like it may be related to creating one mountpoint from an array of disks ... but nothing piques the curiosity like zero google results.
What is this x2darray.mount
?
