That is starting to look like the show-stopper. The only way round it
may be a separate monitoring process outside of systemd.

Anyway, taking one thing at a time, I have the dock permanently on
while I try to get the automounting to work:

My raid.mount now looks like this (the previous version was missing the
'What' and 'Options' lines):

# cat raid.mount 
   [Unit]
   Description=External /raid mount
   
   Wants=dock.service
   
   [Mount]
   What=/dev/md0p1
   Where=/raid
   Options=rw,noauto,soft,fg,x-systemd.mount-timeout=30
   Type=ext4
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   
Everything else is the same. Recall that the .automount file is:

# cat raid.automount 
   [Unit]
   Description=Automount /raid
   [Automount]
   Where=/raid
   TimeoutIdleSec=300
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   
and dock.service is:

# cat dock.service
   [Unit]
   Description=Power the dock up
   After=multi-user.target
   DefaultDependencies=no
   
   [Service]
   #Type=oneshot
   ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/dock up
   
I commented out the 'Type=oneshot' line as this is the default. I could
add 'RemainAfterExit=on' in order to keep the state as 'running but I
don't see that this makes any material difference here.

It then rebooted and.....

[egreshko@f33k ~]$ ll /var/tmp/auto/
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Mar 14 07:26 start
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Mar 14 07:26 stop

I rebooted and got:

# findmnt /raid
# ls /raid
# findmnt /raid
#

IOW nothing happens.
