Hi, I have a usb drive that I would like to use for automatic backup and I'd like for it to be mounted at boot time and treated the same as any other disk. I found these instructions which describe exactly what I want to do... <http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/10/07/suse-automatically-mount-usb-hard-drives/> However I'm running Ubuntu feisty and those instructions don't work properly for this distro. During boot the fsck stage fails because the disk isn't mounted yet (Well I think that's what's happening). After boot up manually running 'mount -a' mounts the drive as expected. Anyone know how to get this working? Or is there an alternative approach? I figure I could just run mount -a in rc.local but then how would the fsck get to run every nth mount?
