&gt; &gt; here's the issue. i have one of the new "gemini"  devices, a psion-like \
smartphone-pda-computer that runs android and linux. i'm of course running linux. the \
linux available for it is a derivative of stretch arm64. it uses systemd, my first \
encounter with that not-universally-loved arrangement.  &gt; &gt; the device has 64gb \
of onboard storage and a microSD slot, in which i've placed a 128gb microSD card \
formatted ext4. to reduce write wear on the device's internal memory, it's my hope to \
put /home or at least /[users] on the microSD  card. this of course requires mounting \
it at boot. &gt; &gt; i've been much of a week searching and i cannot find any way to \
configure this to automount in systemd. i do not even know if under systemd it must \
be mounted to a mountpoint or if it's  handled at the /dev level. so what was once a \
trivial configuration has become a more complicated one, with the possibility of \
bricking the device -- which i'd just as soon not do. &gt; &gt; can anyone here \
either give or point to clear and i  hope simple instructions for configuring the \
card to mount at boot? alternately, is there systemd-friendly disk management \
software? the disk managers i'm familiar with do not seem to work with systemd. &gt; \
                &gt; thanks in advance. &gt; I might
        be missing something here but why not using the fstab file? -- John \
