No.

Yes, I showed the needed content in my original post.
Proceed as follow being root:
Create the .mount and .automount files:
cat > /etc/systemd/system/mnt-pdupre.mount <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=%n
[Mount]
What=LABEL=pdupre
Where=/mnt/pdupre
EOF
cat > /etc/systemd/system/mnt-pdupre.automount <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=%n
[Automount]
Where=/mnt/pdupre
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF
Then execute:
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable mnt-pdupre.autmount
systemctl start mnt-pdupre.autmount
ls -l /mnt/pdupre
findmnt /mnt/pdupre

Right, it will work because the What= line specifies the label of this
filesystem, not the current device path.
