happy new year tp all of you, hope that this new year brings you all joy and happiness and succes, money, women, all that your hearts desire.
Im here on a quest, to seek help:
I have Linux on a dual-boot with windows 7. I have some files (large files to be precise) on the windows partition. Everytime i need to acces them i have to wait a couple of minutes so that Ubuntu mounts the partition, and many times i have to mount using terminal.. he just cant seem to do it on his own sometimes (weird though...)
so the question is, how to make it auto mount a partition (or a HDD for that matter) on startup?
I have checked some answers on this forum before seeking help. If i understood correctly i have to create a mounting point usinfg /mkdir then change something using fstab? But id really like an explanation on how, and why, and what each command does? I mean, to copy paste, i can do that, but id like to undestand what im really doing
the name of this partition (using df in terminal): /dev/sda3.
So thanks all for reading this message, and thank you for those who are going to answer. Saucy
/etc/rc2.d
might be more usefull, so always if his gui is started it is mounted. if you are using/etc/fstab
you do not need to edit the upstart process (or is it init?)
