As I recall, I added udev-extraconf a couple of years ago when I wanted one of my systems to be portable to different motherboards or different mass storage devices. I didn't want the user to have to edit fstab somehow before putting the system together. If I get rid of udev-extraconf, is there a way to use a mount unit to specify a partition by some sttributes, e.g., a FAT file system with a volume name of FOOBAR? Or is there a way to do this directly with a udev rule? -- Ciao, Paul D.

In previous systemd versions there were some bugs in this area, and things did get unmounted; all those bugs have been fixed a while back. It's hard to say anything more without even knowing what systemd version you're using, what downstream patches, etc. udev-extraconf is not a systemd project, so you're probably better off asking the maintainers of that package. > But if I have systemd, should I even be using the udev automount rules in > the first place, or should I just create mount and automount units and > ditch udev-extraconf entirely?

I don't need (or > want) removable drives to be automounted anyway. I don't see why you'd need to use automounting for a partition on the main disk. Just put it in /etc/fstab in the usual manner, and it'll get mounted very early in boot.
