To the best of my knowledge, systemd doesn't need any additional software.

Find out what the problem is. I usually start with mounting problems by running tail -f /var/log/syslog and seeing what happens when I plug in the offending item. I then check with fdisk that the thing has a sensible format. Usually by this stage I can see what is wrong. I do sometimes find oddities after the computer has woken from standby, such as mounting failures. But this is Linux... -- Joe
