Alright, I fear this may be claimed as a duplicate, but I have yet to find a straight answer after lots of googling. So here it is. I got this secundary hdd in my computer. I want it to mount at startup. The "User session defaults" setting don't. So I need to change it. Except, I have no idea how to set the fstab settings. And I see no help or preset settings to aid. The User Session default does sets everything I want except "mount at system startup", yet, other than the mount point, I have no idea how to set settings for it. And the settings that are there now, seem to give the drive a root-only restriction. So.. I'm at a loss. Can anyone help? What settings do I input here?

*Edited title to specify I wish for a solution using gnome disks. *edit2: confused fdisk and fstab. corrected to fstab.

  • I'd rather want to figure out how to get the settings on Gnome Disks right. But it is good to know of a terminal entry fallback. – Lars Erik Grambo Jul 04 '18 at 13:10
  • I still wish for a proper answer from someone who understands this, so I won't post this as an actual answer, but I did eventually find this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab

    the setting for my drive is now: defaults,user,rw,x-gvfs-show,dmask=000,fmask=111 And so far it seems to work as I want.

  • Gnome Disks is covered in the linked thread here. For more specific details, it (mostly) depends on the filesystem type. You could start by reading man fstab and man mount (section "Filesystem specific mount options"). If you want to make your question more specific, please edit it. – wjandrea Jul 04 '18 at 14:13
