What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Mounting as root (i.e. an /etc/fstab entry using x-systemd.automount) takes considerably longer than mounting as a user. See section after the template for more details.

Additional Details
Almost lost my mind troubleshooting this one. What happened is that I initially mounted rclone using mount -av and everything was working well so said awesome and rebooted the system to confirm... but the mount failed. This is the relevant line in my /etc/fstab
# rClone Mounts
OneDrive1:/Data /onedrive/onedrive_1 rclone rw,nofail,_netdev,x-systemd.automount,args2env,vfs_cache_mode=full,allow-other,uid=1000,gid=1000,config=/etc/rclone/rclone.conf,cache_dir=/var/cache/rclone 0 0
Eventually I found what was happening was that I was getting a daemon timeout... which I could work around by setting --dameon-wait to either 0 or a larger than default number like 180... but this then begs the question: why does the rclone command take 1 second to complete when run as a user, but almost 2 minutes when run by root?
