[Lvlug] mounting "drives" when you boot up Linux.

[heath petty]

What kind of drives are you trying to mount? USB and other external
"hotplug" type drives should be mounted automatically (or you should see an
icon on the desktop to mount them). If its an internal SATA drive, then you
will need to add an /etc/fstab entry for it. For example I have a second
SATA drive in my system with two partitions, sdb1 and sdb2. To mount those
at boot on my Fedora system I add the following lines:

/dev/sdb1        /media/sdb1        ext3    defaults    1 2
/dev/sdb2        /media/sdb2        ext3    defaults    1 2

If you are using a different filesystem you'll need to change ext3 to what
ever filesystem you are using. And for your information, the first 1 means
check the filesystem at mount time, and the 2 means to mount it after the
root filesystem has been mounted.
