FWIW, systemd makes it a LOT easier to manage multi-stage mounts with 
fstab automounts because with its mount-dependencies, in most cases it 
"just works".

My previous solution, gentoo so sysvinit with openrc mounting, required 
multiple mount stage scripts and painstaking dependency editing.  It 
worked, but it was a pain!

Finding out it pretty much "just worked" on systemd (tho I did have to 
manually add a single mount-dependency line to a single service unit, due 
to a cross-mount-point symlink that systemd didn't consider, but 
documentation was easy to find and the line did exactly what the 
documentation said it would do) was my most pleasant surprise of the 
switch! =:^)
