Strahil: I WAS using that, but the automatic umount never worked, leaving it mounted all the time. 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 which is exactly as it was before except for the x-systemd entries as you described. and the peculiar thing is it STILL does not automount. and yes, I did do systemctl restart local-fs.target. do I need to reboot (or something simpler, maybe) to fully disable the auto.master stuff? Thanks again!

Are you still on 7.6 ? I recently discovered that a bug in sysstat was fixed in 7.7 that prevented autofs from umounting the filesystem. The following should show if it's taking into action: systemctl status mnt-backup.mount mnt-backup.automount systemctl cat mnt-backup.mount mnt-backup.automount Are you sure that you got no "," before that "noauto" ?

See 'man fstab'. It should be device mount-point filesystem-type options dump fsck So 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.
