how do I get a 2ed hard drive to mount on startup

What is the output of :

sudo fdisk -l; mount; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Is the partition you want to mount (You cannot mount a drive) the sdb1 one mounted to /media/bob/my_data ?

Just to verify.

Thanks

yes my_data

What is the output of:

sudo blkid

And we can add an entry to the /etc/fstab to make it mount at boot

/dev/sda1: UUID="a0833ad3-f9a6-4f3a-accb-909f0b814b3b" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda5: UUID="b4b952e2-ec75-4c88-b51f-7f67c794a2cd" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="my_data" UUID="4818bcbe-5b1f-47c0-942b-9530e0f00648" TYPE="ext2"

Cool such a pain having a wall between the 2 hard drives

Where did you go, what the next step?

Run:

sudo umount /media/bob/my_data
sudo eject /dev/sdb
sudo mkdir /media/bob/my_data
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

add this line:

UUID=4818bcbe-5b1f-47c0-942b-9530e0f00648 /media/bob/my_data ext2 defaults 0 2

Save the file, close gedit and reboot

Does it then work ok?

Thanks

Let me see if I got this right
I opened up Gedit copied the line save
Where do I save the file to?
If it's my home, then no did not work.

You need to reread the commands i gave. They open an existing file.

got this

 sudo umount /media/bob/my_data
[sudo] password for bob:
umount: /media/bob/my_data: not mounted
bob@bob-desktop:~$ sudo eject /dev/sdb
eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
bob@bob-desktop:~$ sudo mkdir /media/bob/my_data
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/media/bob/my_data’: File exists

What happened is I wanted to add another hard drive to have more space I was running out. I put the 2ed one into the computer, then followed some instructions off the net using gparted. I wound up with a 2ed hard drive that is like a USB stick. I can copy files to it. I see this as a wall. My computer dose not really have more space.
I though they would both work as one. That is what I wanted. But I think I set it up wrong.
Should I clear the 2ed hard drive and start over? If so how? Where is the right set of instructions to make two hard drive work as one?

I have tried this though this would help

But when I get to this step on the page "2.2 Edit /etc/fstab"

I get, command not found

 sudo fdisk -l

Then it opened I put it in there again

then saved and closed

(gedit:2968): Gtk-WARNING **: Calling Inhibit failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

then restarted it said serous ereors one disk drive name "bla bla" my_file at startup hit s to skip said you can wait and gave me a % slowly counting up after 10 mins or so the % counter went away I dont know how high it got I was not looking was in the other room making coffee. I hit S again and got on.
where do go ​from here??

so it did try to mount "start up" this time but doing all these thing to get it to work i feel has made it worse but I just dont know.

it's not as bad I a though, Did some reading other people have had this problem, but I did not find an answer on how to fix it I never seem to.

I'm a bit confused, so is this one solved and I have to ask another question?

The additional line for the second hard disk should be in the /etc/fstab file only once. If you have it now twice, please edit the file with the command given previously, and remove one of the double lines, that there is only one occurence with /media/bob/my_data

The counter thing at the reboot most probably was a file system check. For whatever reason Ubuntu has deemed it necessary to perform a file system check. The next boot shoudl go fatser again (unless there is the need for a file system check again).

If you now reboot, does the second disk automatically mount or not?

What is the output of the terminal commands

sudo fdisk -l
mount
ls -la /media/bob
ls -la /media/bob/my_data

I took the 2ed command out and restarted this time it did not say error bla-bla. But still scanned the hard drive with the % countdown. 2ed hard drive booted. I have noticed the computer is quite, I don't hear the hard drive doing it's thing making that noise it use to, all I hear is the fans spinning, it's too quite.
 Here is the read out after I took the 2ed line out and did the restart. As you can see, I have not put much on the 2ed hard drive yet, I did not want to have to take the time of moving everything back off of it, if I had to make a change that would need me to clear it and start over.

Is that additional harddisk now automatically mounted at boot as expected? Can you create files there the way you want?
Are you able to identify whether that "% countdown" (I suppose it is a file system check) is related to the first hard disk or the second (or a specific file system on one of them)?

2ed hard drive is mounting at the start
I can create files on the 2ed hard drive, but It is coping the files, not moving them there, so it's like a memory stick not what I was thinking. I thought putting it in would make the computer have more space and the two hard drives would work as one.
The % countdown" says "system check" is doing it every time at start up, but when it gets to 100% it goes to the sigh on the page and tells me nothing.

Might be hardware problems with hard disk or controller, continued in https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/244919

For move instead of copy: If you press the shift button while dragging a file with the mouse to another directory, it should do a move operation instead of copy. Or you can drag when pressing the right mouse button, you should then see a pop-up menu with copy and move as possible selections.
