mount external hard disk at boot
how do i make my external Hard Drive (2.0TB, NTFS) to mount at boot in Xubuntu 10.04? i wanna see the shortcut in my desktop as soon as X server starts.
here's my fstab: Code:
UUID=7b43dc03-da3c-4765-9372-a189793ae3ae / ext4 defaults 0 1 Code:
/dev/sda1 / ext4 rw 0 0 |
Isn't your external drive being mounted automatically at boot to /media/ExternalHD?
If so then just put a symlink on your desktop to it an you're done. It seems to be that unmounted drives are shown on the desktop by default, I assume so that you know they're there and can take any actin you want, but mounted drives are not because you should know they're there anyhow since you explicitly mounted them. |
I would rather try automount ntfs. The link will exist on the desktop, the mount will be executed on demand
|
my problem is: my drive does get indeed automounted but it takes a minute or so after the X starts. also, if i plug it in after the system has booted,it also takes a minute to mount.
the desktop is calibrated to automaticaly to show removable drives. |

i had accidentally removed a service from autostart which was making things mount really late.can't remember the name now though,anyway it is fixed. thnx
