Depending on the bahavior you want, you should choose one of the 2 lines, but
not both. I believe the latter triggers the "Duplicate entry" warning .
So if you want your device to be mounted when inserted, choose the line with
defaults,noatime,auto,nofail
If you want the device mounted when the mounted directory is accessed, choose
the line with x-systemd.automount
