Error 'Dependency failed' when mounting Azure Files with /etc/fstab, but manually it works

In Azure, I created - 2 file shares - Ubuntu 18.04 VM

When I try to mount my file share via /etc/fstab, it doesn't work. However mount command works fine.

Entry in the /etc/fstab:

//audiocloud.file.core.windows.net/audiocloud /mnt/audiocloud cifs nofail,vers=3.0,credentials=/etc/smbcredentials/audiocloud.cred,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,serverino

The mount not created.

I tried to look in syslog:

slavik@ub18:/mnt$ cat /var/log/syslog | grep mnt Aug 30 07:10:16 ub18 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for /mnt. Aug 30 07:10:16 ub18 systemd[1]: Dependency failed for /mnt/audiocloud. Aug 30 07:10:16 ub18 systemd[1]: mnt-audiocloud.mount: Job mnt-audiocloud.mount/start failed with result 'dependency'. Aug 30 07:10:16 ub18 systemd[1]: mnt.mount: Job mnt.mount/start failed with result 'dependency'.

What does this error means?

Here is mount command, which works successfully:

sudo mount -t cifs //audiocloud.file.core.windows.net/audiocloud /mnt/audiocloud -o vers=3.0,username=###,password=###,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,sec=ntlmssp

Looks like the issue was caused by another mount in /etc/fstab, which added by Azure. Somehow I missed it:

/dev/disk/cloud/azure_resource-part1 /mnt auto defaults,nofail,x-systemd.requires=cloud-init.service,comment=cloudconfig 0 2

Apparently, it mounts to /mnt, so my attempt to mount at /mnt/audiocloud failed.

Not sure though, why the mount command works for the same mount location...
