    Automount Drive

    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.

    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.
        Happy booting!
