Nevermind, I figured it out.

systemd-umount /media/sg

Run blkid to get the UUID for the /dev/sdb1 partition.

Read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab.

Add the UUID to /etc/fstab, e.g. like so:

# <file system>             <mount point>  <type>  <options>  <dump>  <pass>
# snip other entries
UUID=52776559-1302-4aa3-92b8-987d2d3d9a9c /media/sg_data ext4    
nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,noauto,x-systemd.automount,xusers-gvfs-show,noatime,exec,rw,users
0 0

I also had a partition for backups of the built-in SSD using timeshift
(https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift), that I mounted to
/run/media/root/SG_backup, so I unmounted that (with `sudo umount
/run/media/root/SG_backup`), got the UUID for it with blkid, created a
/media/sg_backup mountpoint for it (with `sudo mkdir /media/sg_backup`, removed
the former mountput with `sudo rm -r /media/sg`, added a line with the UUID and
mountpoint to /etc/fstab (with `sudo -e /etc/fstab`):

UUID="a9eb34d2-615f-4113-ab93-b60ac2192a8d" /media/sg_backup ext4        
nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=1,noauto,x-systemd.automount,xusers-gvfs-show,noatime,exec,rw,users
0 0

and remounted it mount `

You can then run sudo mount -a, or more specificaly `sudo mount /dev/sdb1
/media/SG_data`. Finally I confirmed everything was correct with `mount -l` and
`lsblk -fs`, and moved my data back onto /dev/sdb1.
