For those curious why you may want this: consider your service relies on /somelocation

Make that a mount unit in systemd (free from lines in /etc/fstab) and now you can accurately lay out your service's requirement/dependency on this filesystem.

I know systemd gets flack for overreach 'as an init system', but there's a reason - initialization doesn't happen in a vacuum.

Services need filesystems, networks, etc to matter.
