I have a USB stick containing audio files and in /etc/fstab there is
LABEL=MUSIC-1 /media/MUSIC-1 vfat
ro,gid=1000,fmask=0117,dmask=0007,noatime,noauto,user,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=5,x-systemd.device-timeout=1
0 0
Mounting takes place only when the decice is accessed.
* x-systemd.automount: mounts /media/MUSIC-1 when a command wants
to access it.
* systemd.idle-timeout: unmounts the partition a specified time
period after the calling program ceases to access it.
* noauto: causes /media/MUSIC-1 not to be mounted while the machine
is booting.
* x-systemd.device-timeout: configures how long systemd should wait
when no device is plugged in or an incorrect device is found.
I haven't any idea how this fits in with having udisks on the system or
remounting a disk rw, or even how it fits your objectives.
