Hi

I hope all is well with everybody? How do I auto mount hard drives at start-up please? They are being used to mount a NextCloud instance and without auto mount NextCloud is failing. I am using Ubuntu 19.04.

Many thanks

It's it a removable drive? If not, I'd recommend adding it to the fstab, and use the UUID.


Grant. :)

It also depends on the FS. For a long time systemd has refused to mount NFS filesystems via the fstab. I wasted months trying different methods in the fstab. Eventually I've had to use a workaround involving .mount and .automount files for every NFS mount. Then desktop shortcuts so I can access them easily.
