I have one NTFS partition mounted with autofs:

cat /etc/auto.master.d/misc_maps.autofs 
/misc	/etc/auto.misc	--timeout=60,--ghost

cat /etc/auto.misc 
........
winlinux	-fstype=ntfs,rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,default_permissions,allow_other	:/dev/sdc1

ls /misc/winlinux

I wonder whether you mean using autofs. This way you can define the things you want mounted, but they are only actually mounted when you look at them.

Install autofs and then configure the auto.* files in /etc.

If I have a file server on my lan called sodium offering music then my auto.master might contain :-

/LAN    /etc/auto.lan  --ghost

the ghost flag is so that you can see the mount point all the time.

/etc/auto.lan might contain :-

music		-fstype=nfs,nolock	sodium:/volume1/music
# music		-fstype=cifs,user,uid=user1,gid=users,rw,suid,credentials=/etc/cifsmypwd	://sodium/music

I used to mount it via cifs but now I use nfs, so have commented out the cifs info.
My machine now only mounts /LAN/music if I go looking for it and unmounts it after a period of not using it.

What hinders you to use fstab? I mount ntfs partitions with boot with entries like:

# Windows
UUID=xxxxxx 	/mnt/Windows	ntfs-3g		rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,auto,users

Works like a charm for many years already.

I want to automount partitions with boot. I can mount them as I like, but I'd like to have some of them automount.

Let's define the problem: you want an access to contents of partitions or you want ability to mount/unmount partitions for user without root privileges?

Hello again!

There is an old bug in Debian, if you can help me, I hope that bug is not in Devuan as well.
I tried to automount NTFS partition with Disks, and I failed.
I tried with every option - dev/sda, UI .... etc.
Is there any chance to automount partitions ?
Thank you very much and have a nice day, wonderful community of Devuan.
