+:summary: Describes on how to achieve mount ordering in Jessie where
+	  x-systemd.requires is not present.
+
+In the previous `post
+<https://copyninja.info/blog/systemd_automount_entry.html>`_ I had
+mentioned that I didn't figure out how to add dependency on mount
+points so as to achieve correct ordering of mount points. After a lot
+of search today I finally figured it out thanks to the `bug report
+<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826>`_ and the `patch
+<http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-May/031932.html>`_
+which adds *x-systemd.requires* and other option to systemd.
+
+So basically you can add additional ordering information to the
+*.mount* files generated by *systemd-fstab-generator* by adding a
+*ordering.conf* file to path
+*/etc/systemd/system/usr-local-bin.mount.d/* path with following
+contents.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+   [Unit]
+   After=home.mount
+
+And that is it, now *usr-local-bin.mount* will be mounted after
+*home.mount* is activated.
+
+I couldn't find this information directly in related manpages like
+*systemd.mount* or *systemd.automount*. Also this information is not
+directly available in search results!.
