Hi everyone
I have a question about drives being mounted automatically when Ubuntu
(or any Linux system) boots.
I have a 160 Gb drive (/dev/sda1) that I have manually mounted in
my /usr/local directory. What I am asking is what would be the correct
syntax for writing an entry in the /etc/fstab file that allows /dev/sda1
to be mounted when the computer boots.
glenn(a)glenn-amd1:~/Desktop$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sdb5
UUID=4e473668-0492-4c4f-b96c-4a96aa93ac7d / ext3
relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda1
UUID=b52f4246-04ea-4d35-b3b9-37a316709f81 /usr/local ext3
relatime 0 2
# /dev/sdb1

I have manually mounted the drive:
glenn(a)glenn-amd1:~/Desktop$ mount
/dev/sdb5 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)

Thank you.
