I assume there is a GUI to do this somewhere, but pretty much you can do 
it with your /etc/fstab file.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab 
has a good article on how to mount drives automatically with fstab.  It 
isn't too hard, though just out of curiosity does anyone know of a good 
GUI for this?
