Partition auto mounting issue

[babacan]

My 2nd partition doesn't seem to auto mount, I lastly set a .jpg as a wallpaper that is inside my 2nd partition (where it stands as storing files), every Ubuntu reboot the desktop background appears as blank so I suspected it doesnt auto mount, It also doesnt appear at /media , I have to click the partitions name from the places menu of Ubuntu, after that the partiiton appears under /media aswell as wallpaper appears.

Any fix for this?

Cheerssudo umount /dev/sda1

maybe if you edit /etc/fstab... i'm not sure...

Can you please post the output of
sudo fdisk -l
cat /etc/fstab
sudo blkid
mount

Can you please post the output of
sudo fdisk -l
cat /etc/fstab
sudo blkid
mount

Sure,

for sudo fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sda3 18661 19457 6401902+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

For cat /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

For sudo blkid:

/dev/sda3: TYPE="swap" UUID="fc2fa208-2cf2-4d16-bad3-febbe8f61802"


And finally for "mount":
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

The mount command seems to think that /dev/sda1 is mounted, so let's unmount it, add an entry to fstab, then try to remount.
sudo umount /dev/sda1
Now open fstab for editing
gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
Now add this line to the bottom:
UUID=ec3d5a6f-446c-487c-a514-0eeb1c095ba6 /media/sda1 ext3 defaults 0 2
Where I said /media/sda1, he can use whatever name he wants under /media, just change it in the next command, too, so that the mount point exists (and don't use spaces in the name).
Save and close fstab, now create the mount point:
sudo mkdir /media/sda1
Now try and mount with
sudo mount -a
If it fails, please post the output back here.

Also, because of the new mount point, you will have to change any stored links to files on that drive. You can create /media/disk as it is now and use that as a mount point, but that is usually reserved for hal to automount drives.
