The file should go in /etc/systemd/system/-.mount. If you add
an section like

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

than it should be "installed" with 'systemctl enable -.mount', and
a symlink /etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants -> /etc/systemd/system/-.mount
will be created. (Just a normal symlink, but it's nicer to use systemctl
to avoid typos).

The list of paths in order of priority is printed during
startup/reload at debug level. You can generate this list with
   kill -SIGRTMIN+22 1 && systemctl daemon-reload

If fstab is missing, the generator will immediately exit (returning 0).
