NTFS-3G mount / unexplained change

You are right about the typo - I have fixed it.

The mount unit is mnt-Disk.mount and your automount is mnt-Disk.automount

ONLY one can be started and enabled

If you want to only mount on access then disable the mount unit and enable the automount.

sudo systemctl disable --now mnt-Disk.mount

then enable the automount

sudo systemctl enable --now mnt-Disk.automount

It works this way - the automount unit activates the mount unit when you access the path - so you need both for this to work - and I assume you already have the mountpoint /mnt/Disk defined.
