Auto-mount drives at boot

[Falav]

I’m going to bed now, but read carefully all the topic when you have time, to really understand all the steps.

First reload the systemd daemon

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Note the state of the mount

$ systemctl show -p ActiveState -p SubState --value data-backup.mount

Mount the device

$ sudo systemctl start data-backup.mount

Now you can verify the service

$ systemctl show -p ActiveState -p SubState --value data-backup.mount

Note that the folder was created by systemd - list the content of the mount
note permissions changed to partition content

$ ls -la /data/backup

If the device is an internal device always available you can enable the mount and your device will be mounted during boot.

sudo systemctl enable data-backup.mount

In the above examples, if you’d need to undo all the actions, undo all starting by the end.
So sudo systemctl disable data-backup.mount, then systemctl show -p ActiveState -p SubState --value data-backup.mount to check the status, and sudo systemctl stop data-backup.mount

Good luck!
