You didn't explain what the problem is, but I have a couple of
comments on the proposed solution.

1) You don't re-mount it afterwards if you unmount

2) This will not work if installed via a package.  You need to use a
pkg-install script for that (and the pre-install target should call
the script instead of duplicating code).
