If you'd like storage mounted as needed, on demand, use autofs.
Somewhere around 16.04, systemd-mount took over control of the fstab processing. It broke a number of things, like the trick to force an fsck on a partition at the next boot by doing sudo touch /forcefsck. <--- that doesn't work any more and I haven't found any easy way to force an fsck at boot without console access. The possible solutions require modifying the grub boot options or using tune2fs to force an fsck much more often.
I suspect the fstab issue is with having "defaults" listed, when you don't want all the defaults. The manpage says:
Code:
defaults
use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async.
So the line says auto, then no auto. Which is it?
