Unfortunately, running the mount from rc.local doesn't seem to work (nothing 
gets mounted and I don't know why).

I'm using a persistent attach for an AppVM.

After adding "sudo mount /dev/xvdi /mnt/removable" to /rw/config/rc.local, I 
shut down the AppVM, and then start Terminal. After the AppVM starts up, I see 
that the mount didn't happen.

Any tips on diagnosing this? I didn't see the word "mount" in journalctl. Not 
sure where else to look or what to look for.

This is an interesting idea. I didn't know you could persist custom things. I 
guess the worry here is if /etc/fstab is an autogenerated file.

Personally, I'd like to keep things simple and get the rc.local mount working, 
but I'll keep bind-dirs in mind for other things.
