Hi everyone! Is it possible to automount my data storage internal drive in AntiX-16.1? If possible how could I do it exactly? It would be very important, because my disk that contains the system has only 10 Gb space, and I can not reach my internal 1Tb drive at the moment with my data on it. Thank you for the help and advices in advance! Have a nice day!

Add it to your /etc/fstab file.

Just to add to what fatmac said.

Just curious. Spacefm should be able to see and mount your 1 TB drive. you just have to manually mount it after every boot up. That is a feature.
I know you said automount. I just don't consider manual mount a hassle is all.
Edit: Always make back ups first before editing root text files. In case you screw up. You will have have the original to fall back on. Because /etc/fstab edit screw ups will sometimes cause a system to not boot up anymore.
2nd edit: In case you need more info. Click the red link in my signature and follow the instructions.

Yes I tried to mount it manually using space, but what I get is this error message:
Also If I open up a root window, I can mount the disk like that, but the owner of the disk is ROOT, and also if I reboot the computer I can not open the disk with my normal user account, and if I put it in to my fstab file still can not mount it as normal user.
I wouldn't like to use root account just to copy files from the data disk or get something from it. I would like to be able to use it as just the normal user if possible, like I can in MX-16.

The entry should look something like the following, this is off the top of my head, so please read up on the exact way that you need.
(You need to be the root operator or use sudo to alter & save /etc/fstab.)
Code: Select all
/dev/sdb1 /data ext4 auto,exec,users,rw -
