Hi iv just installed XBMC Live Eden on a new system and everything was super smooth which was great but now i need help mounting a secondary Ext4 Drive.

I have a 2TB Internal Ext4 formated and partitioned drive, i followed the following tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Instal...wHardDrive

Im ok up to the point where it say Ubuntu now recommends to use UUID instead. Under the heading: Automatic Mount At Boot. I dont understand what i need to type next i just would like the drive to auto mount at boot and give me access to read/write to drive.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

in linux you have to options to mount a partition.

over drive letter:
for example /dev/sdb1 . This would be the first partition of the second hard disc.

over uuid:
each partition has its own uuid that is uniq.

how to get the uuid for a partiton:
tune2fs -l /dev/<partition> for example sdb1

now you will get a lot of information but a the top of the information you will find a line with UUID.
Filesystem UUID: 65fcb718-ad1e-4228-af2f-9f1e8e7b28df (the uuid is different for your installation)


With this uuid you can create an entry in /etc/fstab to mount the partition/harddrive at boot.

So lets say you want to mount the partition of the 2TB drive under /storage

The entry for the fstab would look like:

UUID=65fcb718-ad1e-4228-af2f-9f1e8e7b28df /storage ext4 defaults 0 0

of course you have to change the uuid with the one from your system
