greetings.
i've tried my best to search the list archives for the answer to this and have
not gotten the search function to deliver . . . anything.
here's the issue. i have one of the new "gemini" devices, a psion-like
smartphone-pda-computer that runs android and linux. i'm of course running linux. the
linux available for it is a derivative of stretch arm64. it uses systemd, my first
encounter with that not-universally-loved arrangement.
the device has 64gb of onboard storage and a microSD slot, in which i've placed
a 128gb microSD card formatted ext4. to reduce write wear on the device's
internal memory, it's my hope to put /home or at least /[users] on the microSD
card. this of course requires mounting it at boot.
i've been much of a week searching and i cannot find any way to configure this
to automount in systemd. i do not even know if under systemd it must be mounted
to a mountpoint or if it's handled at the /dev level. so what was once a
trivial configuration has become a more complicated one, with the possibility
of bricking the device -- which i'd just as soon not do.
can anyone here either give or point to clear and i hope simple instructions
for configuring the card to mount at boot? alternately, is there
systemd-friendly disk management software? the disk managers i'm familiar with
do not seem to work with systemd.
thanks in advance.
I might be missing something here but why not using the fstab file?
