Sorry. I should have expanded on that. Add a line to fstab. See the fstab man page, or these: https://wiki.debian.org/fstab https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab If this is an external disk on a Jessie system, add 'nofail' to the mount options (fourth field). To allow mounting/unmounting as user, also add 'user'. Petter -- "I'm ionized" "Are you sure?" "I'm positive."
