Got a box running 64bit opensuse 11.0. Just did a clean install and the secondary SATA drive does not mount automatically. Once booted, I can mount it manually, access the drive and it works fine, but whenever I log into another account or restart the machine it loses the mount point and I have to re-do everything. I've also got an external USB HD that does the same thing.

Does your /etc/fstab file have an entry for this partition?

Does not appear to have an entry. /etc/dev sees it as /dev/sdb1 so should I just plug that into fstab and what would the new line loolk like if thats what i do?

I edited the fstab and its working now. Thnaks
