+.SH "NAME"
+zfs\-mount\-generator \- generates systemd mount units for ZFS
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B @systemdgeneratordir@/zfs\-mount\-generator
+.sp
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+zfs\-mount\-generator implements the \fBGenerators Specification\fP
+of
+.BR systemd (1),
+and is called during early boot to generate
+.BR systemd.mount (5)
+units for automatically mounted datasets. Mount ordering and dependencies
+are created for all tracked pools (see below).
+
+.SS ENCRYPTION KEYS
+If the dataset is an encryption root, a service that loads the associated key (either from file or through a
+.BR systemd\-ask\-password (1)
+prompt) will be created. This service
+. BR RequiresMountsFor
+the path of the key (if file-based) and also copies the mount unit's
+.BR After ,
+.BR Before
+and
+.BR Requires .
+All mount units of encrypted datasets add the key\-load service for their encryption root to their
+.BR Wants
+and
+.BR After .
+The service will not be
+.BR Want ed
+or
+.BR Require d
+by
+.BR local-fs.target
+directly, and so will only be started manually or as a dependency of a started mount unit.
+
+.SS UNIT ORDERING AND DEPENDENCIES
+mount unit's
+.BR Before
+\->
+key\-load service (if any)
+\->
+mount unit
+\->
+mount unit's
+.BR After
+
+It is worth nothing that when a mount unit is activated, it activates all available mount units for parent paths to its mountpoint, i.e. activating the mount unit for /tmp/foo/1/2/3 automatically activates all available mount units for /tmp, /tmp/foo, /tmp/foo/1, and /tmp/foo/1/2. This is true for any combination of mount units from any sources, not just ZFS.
+
+.SS CACHE FILE
+Because ZFS pools may not be available very early in the boot process,
+information on ZFS mountpoints must be stored separately. The output of the command

+.SS PROPERTIES
+The behavior of the generator script can be influenced by the following dataset properties:
+.sp
+.TP 4
+.BR canmount = on | off | noauto
+If a dataset has
+.BR mountpoint
+set and
+.BR canmount
+is not
+.BR off ,
+a mount unit will be generated.
+Additionally, if
+.BR canmount
+is
+.BR on ,
+.BR local-fs.target
+will gain a dependency on the mount unit.
+
+This behavior is equal to the
+.BR auto
+and
+.BR noauto
+legacy mount options, see
+.BR systemd.mount (5).
+
+Encryption roots always generate a key-load service, even for
+.BR canmount=off .
+.TP 4
+.BR org.openzfs.systemd:requires\-mounts\-for = \fIpath\fR...
+Space\-separated list of mountpoints to require to be mounted for this mount unit
+.TP 4
+.BR org.openzfs.systemd:before = \fIunit\fR...
+The mount unit and associated key\-load service will be ordered before this space\-separated list of units.
+.TP 4
+.BR org.openzfs.systemd:after = \fIunit\fR...
+The mount unit and associated key\-load service will be ordered after this space\-separated list of units.
+.TP 4
+.BR org.openzfs.systemd:wanted\-by = \fIunit\fR...
+Space-separated list of units that will gain a
+.BR Wants
+dependency on this mount unit.
+Setting this property implies
+.BR noauto .
+.TP 4
+.BR org.openzfs.systemd:required\-by = \fIunit\fR...
+Space-separated list of units that will gain a
+.BR Requires
+dependency on this mount unit.
+Setting this property implies
+.BR noauto .
+.TP 4
+.BR org.openzfs.systemd:nofail = unset | on | off
+Toggles between a
+.BR Wants
+and
+.BR Requires
+type of dependency between the mount unit and
+.BR local-fs.target ,
+if
+.BR noauto
+isn't set or implied.

+.SH EXAMPLE
+To begin, enable tracking for the pool:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+touch
+.RI @sysconfdir@/zfs/zfs-list.cache/ POOLNAME
+.RE
+.PP
+Then, enable the tracking ZEDLET:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+ln -s "@zfsexecdir@/zed.d/history_event-zfs-list-cacher.sh" "@sysconfdir@/zfs/zed.d"
+
+systemctl enable zfs-zed.service
+
+systemctl restart zfs-zed.service
+.RE
+.PP
+Force the running of the ZEDLET by setting a monitored property, e.g.
+.BR canmount ,
+for at least one dataset in the pool:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+zfs set canmount=on
+.I DATASET
+.RE
+.PP
+This forces an update to the stale cache file.
+
+To test the generator output, run
+.PP
+.RS 4
+@systemdgeneratordir@/zfs-mount-generator /tmp/zfs-mount-generator . .
+.RE
+.PP
+This will generate units and dependencies in
+.I /tmp/zfs-mount-generator
+for you to inspect them. The second and third argument are ignored.
+
+If you're satisfied with the generated units, instruct systemd to re-run all generators:
+.PP
+.RS 4
+systemctl daemon-reload
