The Fat32 master HDD in my Intrepid Ibex 8.04 Ubuntu PC is mounted and stays so.

I installed a second (slave) ntfs HDD into the Ubuntu PC. Each time I turn it on, the drive needs to be mounted.

What (exact steps) do I need to do so that the slave drive stays mounted after the PC is turned off.

The goal: When the PC is turned on, I'd like the slave HDD already mounted and ready to use.

TIA

Have a look inside the file
You will need to put in a line to mount the drive you want. For example:

The slave drive is named "Public."
What line would you add or alter?
Here are the contents of the fstab file:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

Thanks.

Hi,

It appears you have '/dev/sdb1 /media/Public ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0' in your '/etc/fstab' listed above. Looks like the system added the line.

Yes. Restarted the system several times and the slave drive stays mounted. Thank you.
