                          I'm trying to start the systemd service during boot once fstab entries mounted.

I have followed https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/246935/set-systemd-service-to-execute-after-fstab-mount/570837#570837  and added below details

    # cat /etc/fstab
    /dev/mmcblk1p11 /data       ext4    defaults        0 2
    
    # systemctl list-units | grep '/data' | awk '{ print $1 }'
    data.mount
    
    # cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/data.service
    [Unit]
    Description=My system
    After=data.mount
    
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStartPre=mountpoint -q /data
    ExecStart=/usr/etc/data.sh
    RemainAfterExit=yes
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

Problem is, it won't start during boot. However, the manual restart seems working.

    # systemctl status data.service
      data.service - My system
       Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/data.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
       Active: inactive (dead)
    
    # systemctl enable data.service
    Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/data.service ��→ /usr/lib/systemd/system/data.service.
    # systemctl restart data.service
             Starting My system...
    [  OK  ] Started My system.

Did I miss anything?
