Thunar-selected mount a luks encrypted partition + extra mount options

How do I provide extra mount options to mounts thunar does?

In my case, I want thunar to mount the luks partition, which is a btrfs filesystem with zstd:6 compression.

I tried to set the mount in fstab:

/dev/mapper/cryptedDrive1    /media/user/cryptedDrive1      btrfs   noauto,user,rw,async,exec,suid,compress-force=zstd:6,lazytime,relatime   0 0

However, that's ignored. I tried to set the luks entry in fstab:

/dev/mapper/luks-idofpartition    /media/user/cryptedDrive1      btrfs   noauto,user,rw,async,exec,suid,compress-force=zstd:6,lazytime,relatime   0 0

The "cryptedDrive1" directory is created when I want but nothing happens afterwards (that I can tell). I'd expect the device in mapper to be mapped there.

There are no entries in /etc/crypttab.

There are no entries in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml related to this drive (by consequence, the device too)

I'm "rocking"
xfce 4.14
running on top of
xubuntu 20.04

With:
thunar 1.8.14
thunar-volman 0.9.5
