Author a systemd .automount Unit

Storage & Disk · pro · solved in-browser (no VM needed) · 3 tiered hints

Write /etc/systemd/system/srv-data.automount: a systemd automount unit that lazily mounts /srv/data on first access. Include a [Unit] section, an [Automount] section with Where=/srv/data and an idle-unmount TimeoutIdleSec of 120, and an [Install] section wanting it under multi-user.target. (A matching srv-data.mount unit is assumed to exist.) (Authored config, graded structurally — the engine isn't run here.)
