Title pretty much says it all. I have a secondary storage HDD that I want mounted on start up, but it asks for a password every boot. In gnome I could set it to automount without asking, but in KDE I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Any suggestions to try?

Then it should be pretty straight forward.

Make sure you've created a folder to mount it to (i'd make a /sdb directory right under root, for locally mounted devices, when i want the whole device, but this isnt the best covention, any directory you want is fine)

do

lsblk

read for the drive you are looking for. getting its partition info something like /dev/sdb1

then do the fstab pretty standard if its ext4

something like (dont use the noatime option if you care about access times on files, it will provide a very slight perf increase in other places. See .)

/dev/sdb1 /sdb ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0

This worked like a charm. Thank you very much. Now I just gotta figure out how to get my VPN to quit asking for one too LOL (Didn't ask because it's an AUR mess and wasn't designed for QT in the first place. Would work fine with a GTK front end.)
