I just wrote a blog post about how to use Systemd to configure mount-on-demand
filesystems, e.g. /backup (in my case). This was triggered by recent news in
the UK that a major hosting provider had deleted all their customer VMs by
accident by issuing something like "rm -rf" - but they *also* got all their
backups because their backup volume was mounted too.

Anyway, in the past I've read some useful tips for using Systemd on this
list, so here's the blog post should it be of any interest:
