+
+    <para><command>systemd-mount</command> may be used to create and start a transient <filename>.mount</filename> or
+    <filename>.automount</filename> unit of the file system <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable> on the mount point
+    <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>.</para>
+
+    <para>In many ways, <command>systemd-mount</command> is similar to the lower-level
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>mount</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> command, however instead
+    of executing the mount operation directly and immediately, <command>systemd-mount</command> schedules it through
+    the service manager job queue, so that it may pull in further dependencies (such as parent mounts, or a file system
+    checker to execute a priori), and may make use of the auto-mounting logic.</para>
+
+    <para>The command takes either one or two arguments. If only one argument is specified it should refer to a block
+    device containing a file system (e.g. <literal>/dev/sdb1</literal>), which is then probed for a label and other
+    metadata, and is mounted to a directory whose name is generated from the label. In this mode the block device must
+    exist at the time of invocation of the command, so that it may be probed. If the device is found to be a removable
+    block device (e.g. a USB stick) an automount point instead of a regular mount point is created (i.e. the
+    <option>--automount=</option> option is implied, see below).</para>
+
+    <para>If two arguments are specified the first indicates the mount source (the <replaceable>WHAT</replaceable>) and
+    the second indicates the path to mount it on (the <replaceable>WHERE</replaceable>). In this mode no probing of the
+    source is attempted, and a backing device node doesn't have to exist yet. However, if this mode is combined with
+    <option>--discover</option>, device node probing for additional metadata is enabled, and – much like in the
+    single-argument case discussed above – the specified device has to exist at the time of invocation of the
+    command.</para>
+
+    <para>Use the <option>--list</option> command to show a terse table of all local, known block devices with file
+    systems that may be mounted with this command.</para>

+        model. Moreover if a removable block device (e.g. USB stick) is detected an automount unit instead of a regular
