auto mount spare internal HD without password?

[Morbius1]

/dev/sdb1: LABEL="MAXTOR" UUID="4AB3-FBCE" TYPE="vfat"

[1] If you currently have the partition mounted unmount it.

[2] Create a permanent mount point for the partition:

sudo mkdir /media/Maxtor

Note: any mount point in /home/user-name or /media will produce an icon on the desktop. If you don't want that to happen mount it somewhere else like /mnt/Maxtor or even /Maxtor.

[3] Edit fstab as root:

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

[4] Add the following line at the end of fstab:

UUID=4AB3-FBCE /media/Maxtor vfat utf8,umask=000,uid=1000 0 2

Note: "uid=1000" will make you the owner of the mounted partition and "umask=000" will give r/w permissions to everyone.

[5] Save fstab and back in the terminal run the following command which will test for errors and mount the partition without a reboot:

sudo mount -a
