What is wrong with autofs and in 
/etc/auto.master
# Include /etc/auto.master.d/*.autofs
# The included files must conform to the format of this file.
#
/media	/etc/auto.master.d/auto.media --timeout=60 --ghost

and in

/etc/auto.master.d/auto.media
#
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
WD500-MyBook		-fstype=auto,noatime,nodiratime			:/dev/disk/by-label/WD500-MyBook

It works for me. Not USB, it is eSATA.
Do we realy need all this systemd monolythic crap?
Will Linux abandon unix and become Windows?
