  OK, let's step back and chill out.  First misunderstanding:
take a look into ”man fstab”.  ”auto” means that filesystem will be mounted
when ”mount -a” is invoked.  It was typically called on boot.
With systemd, ”auto” filesystem will be mounted on boot.

  Second, the solution.  The functionality you want is provide by ”automount”.
When using fstab, you can use the handy shortcut of putting 
”x-systemd.automount” in your fstab.  Best replace your ”auto” with
”x-systemd.automount”.
  For details, see man systemd.mount.
