| ubot93 | Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 13:09 |

| SwcdfkX | Hello, trying to do this guide to add an additional hdd. I want the hdd to automatically mount so I can store information. | 23:36 |
| SwcdfkX | http://askubuntu.com/questions/125257/how-do-i-add-an-additional-hard-drive | 23:36 |
| SwcdfkX | ^^ i have done some of the steps but i am confused | 23:37 |
| SwcdfkX | when it tells me to add a /hdd folder is it on the file system drive or on the new added drive | 23:37 |
| SwcdfkX | any suggestions. thanks. | 23:37 |
| holstein | SwcdfkX: you add the information to fstab | 23:38 |
| holstein | !fstab | 23:38 |
| ubot93 | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 23:38 |
| holstein | SwcdfkX: you should back that file up, or keep it well commented, so you can revert | 23:38 |
| holstein | SwcdfkX: what happened to me is, i broke the machine from booting while testing.. then i could go in with a live CD and revert the changes til i got it automatically mounting to the mount point i wanted | 23:39 |
| holstein | then, i chowned the mount point | 23:39 |
| holstein | !chown | 23:39 |
| ubot93 | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | ,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0644 as fstab mount options... | 23:40 |
| SwcdfkX | but step 2.1 holstein | 23:43 |
| SwcdfkX | it asks to make a director | 23:43 |
| SwcdfkX | not to write to fstab | 23:43 |
| holstein | SwcdfkX: the way i do it is, i edit fstab | 23:44 |
| holstein | SwcdfkX: if you are seeing some other suggesiton that is not working for you, i can say, the fstab route works | 23:44 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive | 23:44 |
| SwcdfkX | well it's not working because i am stuck on step2.1 | 23:46 |
| SwcdfkX | i am not an avid ubuntu user but i want to learn it | 23:46 |
| SwcdfkX | i find it challenging | 23:46 |
| holstein | SwcdfkX: use the guide i gave | 23:46 |
| Unit193 | Double click icon on desktop, automounts to /media/username/UUID/ | 23:47 |
| SwcdfkX | 113999fb-2b88-463e-8dd1-e2c44e922aec | 23:50 |
| SwcdfkX | swcdx@Minecraft:/media$ | 23:50 |
| SwcdfkX | that is what shows up when i do ls on the /media folder | 23:50 |
| SwcdfkX | when i click on the home folder there is an icon on the hdd label that looks like eject icon | 23:51 |
| SwcdfkX | which that means it's not mounted correct? | 23:51 |
| SwcdfkX | holstein so i would add this to fstab /dev/sdb1 /media/113999fb-2b88-463e-8dd1-e2c44e922aec ext4 defaults 0 0 | 23:54 |
| SwcdfkX | Unit193 it does mount when i click on the hold folder and then hdd | 23:54 |
| SwcdfkX | but i want it to mount all the time | 23:55 |
| Unit193 | Gotcha. | 23:56 |
