Clarification on secondary drive automount and how to handle upgrade

A few questions regarding secondary drive automount: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Advanced/Auto-Mounting_Secondary_Drives * I have a secondary btrfs drive set up using the old instructions (KDE Partition Manager). Is it recommended to switch my setup to use the new automount package, and if so, how? * I don't see that drive under /run/media/system right now like the guide says. Is that because the drive is already in fstab, or is there something I need to run?
Solution:
the /run/media/system change is for :testing

Related: I set mine up manually in the past and think my system is trying to do both and I end up with both /run/media and /var/mnt entries in steam fwiw on my end simply removing my old entries and letting the automount do its thing on a reboot worked

Nope, stable I figured it out though, it'll automount anything not already in fstab with a label

Gotcha, thanks. I wasn't sure because there was a file named automount in the directory

It says that, but automounting as described at /run/media/system is happening for me on the stable deck image is that a mistake or out of date documentation?
