Re: Adding new HDD nightmare
Are you certain those two are your fstab and mtab files?
What do you mean by "trying to get the HDD to autostart at boot"; I presume you just want it to automount with read/write permissions?
I have never seen anything like that before as /etc/fstab; yours looks exactly the same as mtasb or more like the output of the command mount, so let's really see what your fstab is by showing us the output of and also
Code:
sudo blkid -c /dev/null
We can then help you with the problem.

Re: Adding new HDD nightmare
hello ahallubuntu. Thank you for your reply. I opted for this configuration: UUID=c8b592b0-7ec8-466c-b750-fda9ba74797e /Store ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks 0 0 and ran sudo mount -a and had no errors in the fstap. However, i still need to mount it with root. Also, it still does not autoboot with the operating system. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
