How can I provide authorization to mount internal drives at boot automatically?

@WilsonEPhillips

your original question does not state where it mounts when you put in the password, can you tell us where it actually mounts?

@WilsonEPhillips, it mounts to /run/media/rokejulianlockhart/RWPR04/ because I set that as the label of the drive’s sole partition in partitionmanager. Previously, it mounted to /run/media/rokejulianlockhart/$UUID/, but the behaviour was identical.

@WilsonEPhillips

By the way, you can use the comand sudo blkid and see what the UUID of the nvme1n1p1 is.

sudo blkid outputs /dev/nvme1n1p1: LABEL="RWPR04" UUID="4b2478fd-5b2b-4927-91fb-19d9c9ef3087" UUID_SUB="8b813378-5718-4b88-9655-5b5100c17824" BLOCK_SIZE="4096" TYPE="btrfs" PARTUUID="e0261017-63d8-b148-a5e6-e38fad478949".

The full output is

sudo blkid

Regarding the /etc/fstab file, considering

@WilsonEPhillips

Of course you must know what the mount point should be, or what you want it to be. You must also know the formatting of the drive to know what options you want to apply to it.

I think I’d rather not touch it if possible, although I’ll definitely try if I can’t fix this via a GUI.

Consequently, do you reckon that

could work in the meantime? I’d never noticed it had local autofill functionality until now.
