Modifying fstab to prevent password requests before mounting a hard drive

by Craig Mayhew on Mar.28, 2010, under Linux/Ubuntu

After a fresh install of Ubuntu Karmic I found that the additional hard drives kept asking for a password each time I logged in and accessed them for the first time.

mount-drive-password

To fix the problem, simply install pysdm:

sudo apt-get install pysdm

Then run it as root:

sudo pysdm

Choose your device and then mount your partitions accordingly.
