Is there a utility buried somewhere that provides a nice interface for adding entries to /etc/fstab for other partitions on the same machine and also for images on other networked machines? I can't find anything for that in Systems Settings, which is where I'd expect to find it. It is, of course, possible to do some of that during the initial installation -- but how about afterwards?

Re: Adding other partitions and remote images to /etc/fstab
well for other partitions on the box you could use system settings>removable devices
or they should show in dolphins places panel ware their just a click and password away.
the network drives depend on how their being shared I believe.

Originally posted by pwabrahamsYes, there does seem to be something for handling the other partitions under "removable media" -- a misleading label since they aren't removable. And I can't find anything there for naming the mount points.
and added to /media
as if you clicked it in dolphin's places panel it get's added to /media/disk ....... for me

Re: Adding other partitions and remote images to /etc/fstab
You can, after the partition has been mounted, change the ownership to user:root where user is your user name. This then avoids the prompt for your password when the partition is accessed [read:mounted].
As an example, if my external USB HD, which is not listed in /etc/fstab, is accessed via Dolphin, and gets mounted to /media/disk-1, then I open a console and type:
Code:sudo chown paul:root /media/disk-1
Windows no longer obstructs my view.

You can try out Partitionmanager - just install the package of the same name. It allows you to manage your partitions, change the mount points etc.Shinda Sekai Sensen<br /><br />Kubuntu Maverick RC x64 w/ Kde 4.5.2 (main)<br />Kubuntu 10.04 x64 w/ Kde 4.5.1to be wiped, no point in keeping it any longer
