Hi Chris,
When it comes to fstab, I have not dealt with *fstab.d* as you mention in your below post. When I do man fstab, my Debian server doesn't reference it. Maybe Debian uses an older version of [util-linux](https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/v2.38/libmount-do...). I imagine that most distributions are using the *util-linux*. It probably has the answers.
I notice that auto mounter will create a mount point automatically when you plug in a new device. There is also autofs. Perhaps this article will give you more to ponder.

Hi Folks, The world seems to be headed toward universal multiple config files in the form <dir>.d. There are about fifty of them in /etc. I mount some filesystems "universally", under "/net/...", and, when appropriate, in a user directory, "/home/<user>/net/...". This gives me better granularity of permissions. My fstab has become cumbersome and today I asked the question, "Maybe there is an /etc/fstab.d? Son-of-a-bitch! There is! Well, I mean, I find scattered, inaccurate references, but it is not clear to me that it works on Fedora 36, and initial experiments indicate otherwise. I can still use it, but I have a script that combines all my "components" and replaces the "real" /etc/fstab, and that's not too bad, but it is a hack, and I'd rather find out if it is supposed to work and find out why mine doesn't. Anybody have any experience with /etc/fstab.d? Thanks for the help, -- Chris. V:916.799.9461 F:916.974.0428 A: Because we read from top to bottom, left to right.
