Comment on How to auto remount external HDD after power loss to laptop server?
feannag@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks agoWouldn’t that just mount the HDD when the server boots? I think the issue is re-mounting it while the server remains up, hence the systemd service. But maybe I don’t understand fstab fully.

I think you can use the service to remount using the fstab entries/options. (Like “mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXX” and it’ll automatically apply the options and mountpoint)
Arguably cleaner depending on your setup
