Topic: Auto Mount at boot up

I am trying to have my 2 HDD's mount automatically at boot up.  When I was trying to do this before I used Gparted, I was just putting them in the /etc/fstab but, was getting errors.

So I am now trying to use this program to mount them correctly.

How do I get Gparted to write the correct info to the fstab?

Re: Auto Mount at boot up

I think you must have "autofs" installed in your system.

gparted writes on a partition table (MBR) after any operations that modify partitions. Do you think there is anything wrong in your partition tables?

Furthermore, gparted doesn't write to the fstab, as it works on a disk and partition level, not on system level (it can even partition a w!ndows computer, without any Linux partition).

*** It is highly recommended to backup any important files before doing resize/move operations. ***

Yes, autofs is running.  But when I reboot my system, it is not mounting them.  When I go in to Gparted, and mount them manually, they work fine.
