[CoLoCo] Auto-Mounting Disks

[Kevin Fries]

Nope,

The drive is not in /etc/fstab, and therefore needs to be mounted by root.  

Michael... Add the drive to the /etc/fstab file, there are lots of howtos on the web for this.  I would recommend adding it by UUID, so find an Ubuntu centric instructions.  If you want the drive to be always available, options=default should work, if you want to mount it only on demand, add "user" (just you) or "users" (any user) to the mount options.  This would allow you to mount it, and have the mount point owned by you, not root.

I have a feeling you could chown the discs to your user account and this wouldn't happen anymore - but I'm not sure how that works specifically for previously formatted HDDs.

Hi, I haven't posted here in a while.  I've just updated to 9.10 and
its pretty nice.  This feels like a much more stable release than the
last one so far.  I've heard several people are having problems, but I
didn't have any headaches beyond having to edit the xorg.conf file so
my monitor would work correctly ... that still hasn't been fixed.

I have two hard drives.  A 160GB master and a 80GB slave.  The master
is EXT4 and the slave is EXT3.  I previously had Linux Mint 7
installed.  Ubuntu sees the other drive and I can mount it from within
Nautilus or the Disk Mounter panel applet, but each time I have to
input my password.  In previous installs there was a check box for
automatically authenticating the mounting of the disk, but its missing
in this release.  How can I make it so Ubuntu automatically mounts my
second drive without popping up a password dialog box?
