it's not hard to do if your distribution uses systemd as init.

you need to add the x-systemd.automount option to the mountpoint entry 
in your fstab.
then the disk will be automatically mounted when some process writes to it.
you can also set the time to unmount with the x-systemd.idle-timeout = 
by default the disk will not be unmounted.
