OK, I think I've got it set up as described here, while fixing the misplaced fields in /etc/fstab:
UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup ext4 x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=15min,noauto 0 2
now when I do, e.g., "ls /mnt/backup"
I get:
$ sudo !! sudo ls /mnt/backup ls: cannot open directory /mnt/backup: No such file or directory
if I do:
ls /mnt
I see:
backup
use su to become root, then: ls -l /mnt shows:
# ls -al total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 0 Jan 2 13:24 . dr-xr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 Jan 2 09:22 .. dr-xr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Jan 2 13:24 backup
ls backup shows:
# ls -al backup ls: cannot open directory backup: No such file or directory
why? it clearly appears to exist ????
the FS isn't mounted, but /mnt/backup exists, so it should be visible as an entry directory. also, I can mount it manually:
mount UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup
and then access it. but it doesn't automount with, e.g. "ls /mnt/backup" or "ls /mnt/backup/backups".
I must still be doing something wrong but maybe I'm too stupid to see it. (Please don't agree with me publicly...! :=) )

I commented out those entries in /etc/auto.master before modifying the fstab entry:
UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup ext4,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=15min noauto 0 2
That's not correct. See 'man fstab'. It should be
device mount-point filesystem-type options dump fsckSo you should have:
UUID=259ec5ea-e8a4-465a-9263-1c06217b9aaf /mnt/backup ext4 x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=15min,noauto 0 2
which is exactly as it was before except for the x-systemd entries as you described.
Yeah, you put them in the wrong place.
