How To Automatically Mount A Disk At Boot

Asked by Morganac

I Was Just Wondering If There Was A Way To Have A Second Hard Disk Be Automatically Mounted At Start-Up, Rather Than Having To Mount It Manually? Any Help With This Issue Would Be Greatly Appreciated, It Gets Rather Annoying Having To Mount The Drive Every Time The Computer Is Re-Booted.

Linux Version: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)

Hard Disk Is: 60.0 GB, Formatted As EXT4

Sure is, in /etc/fstab. I've done the same thing. Here's the line from my fstab:

UUID=604248dd-56e2-4c2d-a4ed-0b5b5c095673 /media/Storage ext4 defaults 0 0

You can get your uuid by running: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

Make sure your mount point exists and is writeable by yourself.

Does this following line is correct ?

/dev/sdb3 /media/Documents ntfs defaults 0 0

And what means the two zeros ?

Looks okay, but you should change "ntfs" to ntfs-3g.

Also, have a look at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab

The last two zeros represent dump (fs_freq) and pass (fs_passno) values. Read the last couple paragraphs of the fstab man page.
