Mount HD usb automatically at PC start up
Let <my-HD>
be the external hard disk that we want mount automatically and already connected to the PC, then:
- make folder in
/media
in which it will be mounted:sudo mkdir /media/<my-HD>
- list all HDs according to their UUID name, which doesn't change every time the HD is mounted:
sudo blkid
with output like:
/dev/sda1: UUID="036a188d-51ac-4fe4-8526-9f0c2512fe0b" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda5: UUID="79511fe3-2a67-490e-b3ba-95b5bf40508c" TYPE="swap" /dev/sdf1: LABEL="<my-HD>" UUID="EE7EB0C67EB0893B" TYPE="ntfs"
- Open
/etc/fstab
, with root permission, and, at the end of the file, add the right UUID name for<my-HD>
:# HD external UUID=EE7EB0C67EB0893B /media/<my-HD> ntfs rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,uid=1000,gid=46,umask=000 0 0
- Save.
