FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

The line looks like this but it still does not mount automatically, I have to type the password. What is wrong?

Code: Select all

UUID=45ad3921-b274-4f45-9d9d-066950841bda  /mnt/data auto ntfs-3g  users,comment=x-gvfs-show    0       2

I have this and it automounts as user.

BEFORE adding the fstab I have to actually click on the drive to mount it using Thunar, after that I add this line, and when I then reboot it just magically remembers.

I have no idea if it is right, I have no idea what it all does. It works, and that is what I care about. But I DO have to go and look on the drive before doing anything else. (I had to do that with disk manager as well to make it work btw)

Code: Select all

UUID=8088D64A88D63DFA	/media/eadwine/Seagate\040Backup\040Plus\040Drive	ntfs-3g	defaults,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,uhelper=udisks2	0	0

I tried on my wife's machine and it worked with the following command line.

Code: Select all

$ sudo su

# echo "/dev/sda6 /media/violeta ntfs-3g auto,rw,users,umask=000 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
I am now going to clean that up and test that on my machine.

EDIT:
I just did the same procedure on my machine and it works perfect, it mounts the partition at startup and does not ask for a password.
Thanks for all your help.
