Answer: Yes internal. Auto mount or not I still get asked for a password.
Answer: As I went through all this already when moving over to a linux based OS I preped my drives then, befor I ran OM i was on mint, the two ssd’s are btrfs and the sata’s are ext4.
I therefore have no ntfs drives in my system, I am running a purely linux pc…
Answer: This has already been done, inside Dolphine though, I still need to enter my password.
Needs to be changed to something like /storage
I see nofail twice on that line
It needs to end with 0 2 instead of 0 0
This is most likely the culprit that is preventing your boot. I am not sure what that is or where it came from, but it needs to go away. Start by REMing out that line with a #
Ok, will look into that and revert back. Just to be clear, the problem is not the booting. the problem is Dolphin continually needing my admin password to access the drive see post 46.
I copied the entire Konsol output, I used sudo cat /etc/fstab to get the contents.
[cg@cgpc ~]$
This is my prompt from within konsol, every line starts with that, I can’t remove it…
It was probably just the screen formatting, below is s screen capture.
O.K., you catted that out rather than look at it from an editor. I have no way to know if that line is split, but it needs to be one line. You can change that mount point to anything you want. You might as well make it simple and much shorter, like /storage or something. Remember that it will show in the left hand column of Dolphin, so it needs to be shorter.
I understand that you caught the prompt in the copy and paste. No problem there then.
fstab Ammended. What next? Sorry for the slow responses…

Good point on the usability. @CharlesGibbsNam did you want it mounted (with a reasonable name) in your home folder? You can do that, but you’ll need to create the folder before you mount it (or, likewise, before you reboot).

Just a question, @WilsonPhillips why is your “root” being shown and mine not? I just saw on my laptop that “root” is showing up on it too but not on my pc?
Have replaced the line, will restart and revert back once done.

@CharlesGibbsNam just in case something is just fundamentally off, here is a good, step by step video on mounting drives into file systems by editing from fstab. chances are, you have done all the steps right and everyone has said the right things, but I’ve followed this guide in the past and it has never failed. If you start the video at about 5:50 you should be good. Before that, he talks about how to reformat in the CLI, but you don’t need to do that. You’ll have to change some information, like instead of EXT4, you’re doing BTRFS, and your mount point will be different, but the rest of the guide is solid. But, in the end, maybe all you need to do now is the chown command, as discussed before.
