Mounting problem.

I am having this problem since installing 14.04.

Here's the line I entered into my fstab:

Code:

---

UUID=xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx  /media/wd4tb ext4 defaults 0 0

---

Naturally, the xxx in the example are the real numbers of the drive.

When I boot, the drive shows up on the left hand side, but dropbox and my copy app can't see it until I open it in Nautilus.

Any ideas why?

Thanks!

Post moved to its own thread.

What does the terminal output when you reboot, and run

Code:

---

sudo mount -a

It asks for my password and then returns this:

Code:

---

myusername@thepciuse:~$ sudo mount -a
[sudo] password for myusername:
myusername@thepciuse:~$

---

(yes -- i did reboot before typing this.)

Try running

Code:

---

sudo mkdir /media/username/xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
sudo chown username:username /media/username/xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx

---

And using the following fstab

Code:

---

UUID=xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx  /media/username/xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx ext4 defaults 0 0

---

Where username is your username

This seems to have done the trick!

Thanks!
