autmount

[vsreeser]

I have an external hdd, formatted NTFS. I can mount it fine. How can i make it automount to /backup when I power it on, assuming Kubuntu 14.10 is already running? I am assuming there is some easy way to do this, other than typing the commands in a terminal.
I can put it in fstab, and run mount -a when I power on the drive, but is there another way?

It's not always on at startup. Not sure if fstab supports if statements to find out if it's present and skip mount if not

Do you want manual mount H.D.D when you need it without any command terminal ?

When you plug it in, doesn't it pop up in device notifier? If not, you likely need a udev rule for it.
