How do I permanently mount my 137 GB HD to my Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop Edition on my Dell Precision 450 Workstation?

You did not specify which mount point you want or created, so I'm going
to assume, for this exercise, that it will be /mnt/data

sudo mkdir /mnt
sudo mkdir /mnt/data

Then  add the following line to your fstab file:


UUID=9887bf55-f0c9-4472-bf4d-d84e5669d21c /mnt/data ext3 noatime   0  2


*Note* If e-mail wraps that to two lines, it should all be 1 line,
starting with "UUID" and ending with "2"  Once your fstab has been edited:

sudo umount /media/Data
sudo mount /mnt/data

sudo chown -R username /mnt/data

Substitute 'username' with whatever user name you log in under.
