Prior to mint I used mnt. Ok, nearly there... First, check to make sure that there isn't existing data in the folder you're trying to use to mount at /media/julia/DEMETER - systemd doesn't like the existing mount point. After checking it's empty, delete it: sudo rm -rf /media/julia/DEMETER systemctl will recreate it if necessary. Check to see if the unit file is enabled, I might have missed a step: systemctl is-enabled media-julian-DEMETER.mount If it's not enabled, enable it: sudo systemctl enable media-julian-DEMETER.mount Reboot. However this looks a bit suspect to me: "Warning: "sudo systemctl start media-julian-DEMETER.mount" exists;" That's a weird error message. I'd expect syntax more like "warning, mount point exists" as the return status from the command "sudo systemctl start media-julian-DEMETER.mount" whereas here they're mashed together. Clear the mount point and enable the unit first and then we can check again.
