Imagine… You just bought an new hard drive. And you want to mount it with FSTAB so it will be mounted every boot up. But your too lazy to understand FSTAB. I approve your lazy life stile like I am used to be. And here I will tell you an great secret from the lazy “Ubuntu” trolls. Keep in mind I would advice you to mount your hard drives manually. For now I will show you the lazy way.

Open the “Terminal”

Perform the following commands:

First step we download the DUTCH script for mounting disks.

$ wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter

For Debian users become root!
$ su -p

Now lets mount all your hard drives with 1 single command. (For ubuntu users add “sudo” in the beginning of the line!)

# bash diskmounter

Now awnser 1 or 2 questions. And let him mount your drives.

No reboot is required since it automatically mount & chown your drives!

    USB Devices will often be not found by this script, Debian Linux should find this as an USB Mass Storrage device.

    If you want to mount your external hard drive to a directory I did prefer for you to follow a manual way to mount it. Since external drives are beeing put on and of only when need for some specified backups or data. I did not recommend to put it in your mount folder.

    In case you want to do it you seem to have to do it manually:

    This guide should be okay for doing it.
