I have a laptop with only 32GB SSD space (Lenovo 100S). That's not very much, so when I installed Ubuntu 15.10, I set a 64GB SD card as the /home partition.

My problem is, every time I wake the laptop from suspend or hibernate, the SD card is unmounted and I have to reinsert it to re-mount it. How can I configure Ubuntu so that the SD card is acting like a normal System "SSD"?

Maybe there is a graphic tool to do this, depending your environment. But you can always configure Ubuntu so that the SD card is acting like a normal System "SSD" by editing the fstab file, in /etc/fstab. Maybe have a look to the doc about it if you are interested by this questions. Have a look to yours with a text editor, and make a backup file before editing anything. So then:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

You just have to specify uuid, the mount point desired, the file system used and leav the other option as defaults, 0, and 2. Example for my home device:

# /home was on /dev/sde8 during installation
UUID=ab5346f-c35e-454e-7827-esd6g4ds5fab /home           ext4    defaults        0       2

But I don't know is there is a specific problem with suspend (it's possible).
