I am trying to have a 500Gb external HDD automount at startup. I have found some posts that get me in the right direction but I do not have a fstab file that matches or even looks any where near what I need to change for /dev/sda*
The external is Fat 32 formated.
I am running Gutsy
here is my fstab
I would like the drive to be root write able and user read only
and the drive will be ALWAYS be attached!
UPDATE:
I have found this in the forums but like I said above my fstab does not have such a line for my /dev/sda*

Try editing your fstab with kdesudo kate by doing:
alt+f2->kdesudo kate->password and changing this:
Quote
/dev/sda1 /media/maxtor auto users,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
to this:
Quote
/dev/sda1 /media/maxtor auto users,atime,auto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
Note the change form noauto to auto
