I have used fstab in the past -its more a workaround that breaks (i.e, a |
| 2 |
disk usually, but not always appears as /dev/sde, and while I currently |
| 3 |
use btrfs I also use xfs on some portable drives.) |

I mean automounting of disks (pam/polkit/udsiks2 seem to be involved), |
| 6 |
not autofs in this case |
