I go into the Disks tool, and select the drive and select "mount at startup" and "show user interface", but it doesn't do it at reboot, ever. My Steam game library is on there so its difficult to go and mount it every time I want to play a game.

You can use file /etc/fstab to mount drives at startup.



  1. The first is view the drive to mount with fdisk -l


  2. The second step is go to /etc/fstab and write a line like this:



    /dev/sda1 /mnt ntfs-3g users,uid=33,gid=1000,umask=0000,nofail 0 3



The first column is the drive listed with fdisk -l, the second column is the path where drive is going to be mounted, the third is the filesystem format, the fourth column are options to mount like the user(uid) and group (gid), the fifth column is to dump filesystem, and last column is the order to check with fschk
