[SOLVED] automount external ntfs disk
Hello,
After Arch fires up I can see my external hard drive in Thunar, however it is not mounted. I have to click on the icon to actually mount it. How can I make this "click" automatic? Thank you.

Sorry I messed it up, it was not intentional.

Use fstab if you want it mounted at boot time.

What did I do wrong?
Does the mount point /Media exist?

Re: [SOLVED] automount external ntfs disk
With this command:
sudo mkdir /mediaI got
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/media’: File exists"so I just created the directory in home/user/Media.
