I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and want a hard drive to mount automatically at start up. I have found lots of advice on line but whatever I do I always get this message during boot up:
"The disk drive for </media/BackupDrive> is not ready yet or not present." I have tried waiting but nothing happens so I have to skip the mounting.
I have attempted creating a folder called BackupDrive in /media but still get the same message (and when mounted manually the drive appears in another folder called BackupDrive_ - note the underscore).
This is the drive identity from blkid:
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="BackupDrive" UUID="4A54C43254C42295" TYPE="ntfs"
and this is the entry currently in fstab:
UUID=<4A54C43254C42295> </media/BackupDrive> <ntfs> uid=<1000>,gid=<1000>,umask=0022,async,auto,rw 0 0
The drive is (like the other drive in the machine) an IDE drive.
I should add that I am far from au fait with Linux so am probably missing something blatantly obvious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
