Automount USB exFAT drives with Synology NAS

I installed a library for exFAT support and I have to manually mount it via SSH. I would like to get it to operate as it does out of the box with drives that are FAT formatted, where appears as one of its shared folders.

The command I am using is something like this:

/mount.exfat-fuse /dev/sds1 /volume1/homes/admin/exFAT

I am not sure of the mechanics of how the NAS does it automatically with its OS. I figure it might be similar to how other Linux OS's do it.

Background instructions for adding exFAT support are here: https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?t=62473&start=90#p390456
