mount point at boot

[alex_time]

Hi, I have a Pc with 2 hard drive, yesterday I installed ubuntu lucid but I forgot to set a mount point (let's say /datas) during partitioning, and now I have the hard drive icon on my Desktop. I would like to set the mount point during boot, what I can I do? Insert a fstab line? If I do that, the desktop icon si still there, so, what does ubuntu do when I configure a mount point on a secon har drive during installation?!

install mountmanager with synaptic, and set your prefs into : system admin mountmanager for all your partitions and devices

I think the icon on the desktop will still be there, if that's what you are trying to avoid. In fact, I guess it depends on what filesystem the partition/disk has.

Thanks for your advise, but finally I edited fstab manually.

I guess you were right...I changed the filesystem on ext4 and the desktop icon has gone.
