Automount Drive

[mattg]

I have a second hard drive (sdb1) installed.

When Kubuntu restarts, or if I log out and back in, it does not mount. If I try to open it, I get the message:

hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000

If I do the following, it will mount:

sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1

How can I make it mount automatically so I don't have to terminal this code each time?

Thanks.

Re: Automount Drive

I've had good luck using
K > System Settings > Advanced (tab) > Disk & Filesystems
=> Administrator mode
Highlight the partition
Modify
then set a mount point (e.g., /media/sdb1);
click so any user can do anything at any time';
Enable at startup;
Writable;
OK;
Highlight it againi;
Enable;
exit out nicely (File > Quit)
re-boot to test

Of course, the filesystem table /etc/fstab has something to say about what devices are auto-mounted, also.

Glad it's going our way tonight, mattg.
