Is your original requirement below a subset of the above or is the above now the new requirement:My _ideal_ goal would be have sda, the boot disk mount at startup (duh--) and the other disks mount when required, as when saving a file to one them, opening a media player etc. and then go into whatever I have set in power management for that disk when it is no longer in use. And of course have all the disks show up in File..Open dialogue.
I translated that to mean that you want all these partitions to show up together in "Open" and not have to use "Other Location". Am I right?My problem I am trying to fix was that going to "File - Open" in many programs (eg: k3b) the Documents, Download, etc directories are shown along with "Other Locations". If I select "Other Locations" I get two entries: "Computer" & "Movies". Selecting "Computer" gives me the / directory listing and I can go to/mnt and select the drive/directory I want.
Why not keep your fstab the way it is but Bookmark the mount points.
You have a partition that is mounting at boot:
Open Nautilus ( not Double Commander - you are using Ubuntu right? ), go to /mnt/Video, then Bookmark it. A bookmark created in Nautilus will show up in "Open" in your applications along with Documents and the rest of the gang. Won't have to use Nautilus again if you don't want to/.LABEL=Video /mnt/Video auto nosuid,nodev,nofail 0 0
