linux mint 17.1 automount problems

I had installed hard drives that were not auto mounting.

I used menu/preferences/disks and the drives were set to use the ‘Automatic mount options’ button but that didn’t mount them

Next I unselected the ‘Automatic’ feature and set things as follows:

  • checked mount at startup
  • checked show in user interface
  • in the space just above ‘Mount Point’ I replaced the default options with:
    defaults,errors=remount-ro,x-gvfs-show
  • I left the others as they were

That worked. Now all my drives/partitions show up mounted.
