Mount a file system (image or block device) at /run/media/system/LABEL where LABEL is the filesystem label or the device name if there is no label:

systemd-mount {{path/to/file_or_device}}

Mount a file system (image or block device) at a specific location:

systemd-mount {{path/to/file_or_device}} {{path/to/mount_point}}

List all local, known block devices with file systems that may be mounted:

systemd-mount --list

Create an automount point that mounts the actual file system at the time of first access:

systemd-mount --automount yes {{path/to/file_or_device}}

Unmount one or more devices:

systemd-mount {{[-u|--umount]}} {{path/to/mount_point_or_device1 path/to/mount_point_or_device2 ...}}

Mount a file system (image or block device) with a specific file system type:

systemd-mount {{[-t|--type]}} {{file_system_type}} {{path/to/file_or_device}} {{path/to/mount_point}}

Mount a file system (image or block device) with additional mount options:

systemd-mount {{[-o|--options]}} {{mount_options}} {{path/to/file_or_device}} {{path/to/mount_point}}
