Mounting multile partitions at startup

[Lateralus138]

Hello, I am using gnome-session-properties to automatically mount Windows partitions at startup because I have soft links to often used files over there, but it will only let me keep one of them. Every time a create the entry the other disappears.
I use

/usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/A*********
/usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/0*********

Is it because they are the same commands? I would think that since they are not 100% the same it would allow it. Can someone tell me how this works and/or if there's a work around?

Why not do things properly and put an entry in /etc/fstab for each of the drives you want mounted.

oh, I didn't know. I googled how to do that and that was the results I came up with from the first 3 links of my query. Thanx though I'll check it out.

I'm all for setting it up in fstab but I'm confused by the original question. It's likely I'm reading it wrong/.

Are you trying to add multiple lines to the same startup job?

Why not create a separate job for each partition instead.

Just add them to fstab or use a utility like mountmanager to do it for you.

I like to mount my data partitions and link the folders back into /home, others perfer to use bind.

I did create multiple startup jobs and when I added the second one and restarted my computer it there would only one be one partition startup option like it deleted the first one.

Did you give each one a different name? Like MountC and MountD or did you have the same name?

Well I do something like this

ln  -s /media/Windowspartition1/users/me/Downloads /home/me/Downloads (I name it "downloads1"
ln -s /media/Windowspartition2/Downloads /home/me/Downloads (I name it downloads 2 etc...)

and I do the same for Documents and Pictures etc...

Yes I named one Windows Mount 1 and Windows Mount 2. At first I thought because they were similar in name that it didn't work that way, but I changed one name to just "1" and the other to just "2" and it still deleted one of them.
