Recently I upgraded my system with a new MB and on MB SSD card. I have
my root and home theere. My system has 4 hot pluggable slots for SATA.
Currently my old home and root are on a RAID 1 pair and my backup drive
is on a third.
I certainly can place the, in /etc/fstab and treat them as permanently
mounted. But, I would like to keep them offline. For some good technical
reasons udev does not automount these drives. The main candidates for
physical removale are the backup drive and a data drive (for very large
files and directories like VMs and stuff that I don't want on the SSD.
I could set these up using autofs. But I also have been looking at
pmount(1).
