Re: "auto mount"

I made
touch /etc/systemd/system/mnt-pdupre.automount
touch /etc/systemd/system/mnt-pdupre.mount
and 
systemctl daemon-reload

but it is still the same behavior.

Do I need to create empty real files?
Or I need to fill the files properly?
However, if I need to specify /dev/sde8, it is not going to work, because it can be
/dev/sdx8
depending on what is already mounted.
