Auto mounting partitioned usb hard drive

[Guest]

I have a Lacie 500GB usb hard drive split into 3 NTFS partitions.
Can I get it to mount automaticly when turn it on?

I'm running Kubuntu 7.04

Re: Auto mounting partitioned usb hard drive

Yes. This should happen automatically. You can check Adept Manager for the package pmount:

pmount

mount removable devices as normal user

pmount is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry. This provides a robust basis for automounting frameworks like GNOME's Utopia project and confines the amount of code that runs as root to a minimum.

This package also contains a wrapper "pmount-hal" which reads some information like device labels and mount options from hal and passes them to pmount. Install the package "hal" if you want to use this feature.
