Well I've got a partition with music etc, and I would like it to be automatically mounted at startup.

How can I do that? I went on it's properties and selected mount automatically... but it does not mount. I'm using Sabayon if that can be of any help.

Thanks.

Edit your fstab and add the entry /etc/fstab

What flavor are you using and where did you select automount?

Yeah I read something about editing fstab but I did not understand it, can you please provide more detailed help?

I'm using Sabayon, and I selected amount by browsing to my partitions folder, selected the partition I wanted, went on it's properties and selected mount automatically

What type is the partition (NTFS, EXT, etc.)? And what is the address (IE: /dev/hda) ?

edit /etc/fstab and place noauto in the options field, simple as pie.
