Welcome to the forum. Do you mean boot or mount? Those are two different things.

Perhaps show the entry in fstab you are using.
You might want to add some mount options so it will show up in Thunar like those:
Code: Select all
x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=USB-Harddisk,x-gvfs-icon=drive-harddisk-usb-symbolic,x-gvfs-symbolic-icon=drive-harddisk-usb-symbolic

You may want to take a look at
disk manager:
- Type in diskm on the whisker menu, and select Disk Manager
- Right-Click the desktop, select Application -> System -> Disk Manager from the popup menu
- In a Terminal window from the command line:
Should get a nice overview of the partitions, and ability to manage which are mounted on which mount points with which options.

As already requested, do post the content of /etc/fstab,
e.g. by running this from command line and copy'n'paste the text output here:
or open in featherpad:
and do post the text content of /etc/fstab between those code - tags like thos [
code]code brackets[/code]

The last line in the /etc/fstab you posted is probaly wrong, so check again
This line for /disk3
Code: Select all
#Entry for /dev/sdc1 :
UUID=bfd5b9cc-e7aa-47ef-9fa1-ddd02b6ee2a1 /disk3 ext4 defaults,relatime 0 0
here with some changes to show up under devices as "disk3":
Code: Select all
#Entry for /dev/sdc1 :
UUID=bfd5b9cc-e7aa-47ef-9fa1-ddd02b6ee2a1 /disk3 ext4 defaults,relatime,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=disk3 0 2
In addtition I added "nofail" to avoid a boot-hanger in case you removed the hdd-device,
and also added the files-system check flag "2" to have reguarly file system checks when mounting.
You can add other icons for the external hdd as mentioned in the post above e.g.
Code: Select all
#Entry for /dev/sdc1 :
UUID=bfd5b9cc-e7aa-47ef-9fa1-ddd02b6ee2a1 /disk3 ext4 defaults,relatime,nofail,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=disk3,x-gvfs-icon=drive-harddisk-usb-symbolic,x-gvfs-symbolic-icon=drive-harddisk-usb-symbolic 0 2
