|
|
Hi there I have an internel 2tb hdd that I have all my data on. It is mounted at run/media/brett/Seagate and is /dev/sdb1
Everytime I restart my computer it asks for the root password to mount the drive. It is formatted in ext4.
I've tried adding some rules to /etc/polkit.d/rules.d from the forum but nothing seems to work.
I have it added to my fstab to start on boot but I still have to type in a password.
Is there anyway to stop this or can I unmerge polkit to stop this.
Its driving me crazy and mediatomb can't access the drive because it doesn't have permission. |

No, no, no... Do not bother with crap kit for such an easy task; just make a static directory somewhere--say `/mnt/data'; and then add an entry in `/etc/fstab' with either UUID/LABEL (more reliable) or plain device file path `/dev/sdX'; and finally pick up mounts option and append `user' option to give users permission to mount (and possibly `noauto' to disable automatic mount.) Simple and reliable, no crap kit required. _________________ home/:mkinitramfs-ll/:supervision/:e-gtk-theme/:overlay/ |
