Hello this is almost a dublicate of my own post here:
viewtopic.php?f=49&t=239731
I've just installed Linux Mint 19 and i tried to take ownership and auto mount my internal hdd, and I've read some of the fine threads in this forum, but I just fubared my install and rendered it useless.
Timeshift did not help - the image I made once I finished the install did not work.
So now I'm reinstalling Mint 19 as I'm typing this on my laptop.
What needs to get done:
Have one 3TB hdd partitioned in 6 almost equal 500gb ext4 partitions called "Drev1,Drev2 and so on.
I have read other threads but since i rendered the new install useless (probably because I also messed with grub.... so that is why I'm seeking qualified help so I don't mess up the new install.
So I only need the 6 partitions to auto mount and own them.

Re: automounting 3tb hdd i 6 ext4 partitions
1) Make a mount point in /media for each one of the partitions you want to mount:
Repeat for Drev2, ...
2) Add a new line for each partition in /etc/fstab:
Replace uuid-for-drev1 with the actual UUID from the output from lsblk. Repeat for all the partitions.
3)Once done for each partition:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /media/$USER/Drev1
2) Add a new line for each partition in /etc/fstab:
Code: Select all
UUID=uuid-for-drev1 /media/$USER/Drev1 ext4 defaults,noatime,nofail 0 2
3)Once done for each partition:
Code: Select all
sudo mount --all

Re: automounting 3tb hdd i 6 ext4 partitions
Hey it works!
Thank you Marziano
All 6 partitions are mounted at startup and I'm the owner.
Would you please take a look at my fstab as it's looking now?
