Auto mount internal drives

AGazzaz · 04-24-2013, 10:45 AM

Hello,
I tried to use Yast to auto mount my drives but I did not succeed.
Can you please tell me what to do?

I am using openSUSE 12.3 with KDE

All the drives should just auto be listed in the left pane in Dolphin
under "places"

that is the default behavior
mind you they will not really be mounted until you do click on the the drive
then you will see it in /media/????

thank you John
i have drop box and it needs the drives already mounted at startup also when i open any file i need to make sure i have already clicked the drive first

so i need the drives to be mounted without my click

thank you

ps: i am using hypernate to bypass this problem but i want to really fix it

first make folders in /mnt FOR them
/mnt/drive1
/mnt/drive2
--- and so on
Then add them to /etc/fstab
and reboot

Warning:
double check the drives and the location and the folder names ( or uid's) !!!!
if there is an error you might have to use the install dvd in "rescue mode" to boot up and fix the error
