+- ~DefaultDependencies=yes~ : The mount unit automatically acquires ~Before=umount.target~ and ~Conflicts=umount.target~. Local filesystems automatically gain ~After=local-fs-pre.target~ and ~Before=local-fs.target~. Network mounts, such as NFS, automatically acquire ~After=remote-fs-pre.target network.target network-online.target~ and ~Before=remote-fs.target~.
+- ~Options=subvol=@internet_archive,compress=zstd:1~ : Use the subvolume ~@internet_archive~ and use zstd compression level 1.

+Note that the name of the unit file, e.g. ~mnt-internet_archive.mount~, must correspond to the ~Where=/mnt/internet_archive~ directive, such that the filesystem path separator / in the ~Where~ directive is replaced by an en dash in the unit file name.
