auto mount a hard drive connected to router
#1
I am trying to auto mount a hard drive connected to my router.  I have tried the suggestions from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1806455 but no dice.  Can you guys point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Even though most routers are based on a Linux OS, they are not all created equal.

In my last router I had to go into it's config and "Enable" and "Disable" USB
Current router "Auto Mounts", and there is an "Un-Mount" Icon on it's main page.

First see if there are any settings in your router.
Normally it should show up in Thunar/File Manager, if "enabled"

Not sure if this is a typical way to do it but I found it under smb://192.**** and then made a desktop short cut to it and everything seems to be working fine.  I will see what happens at reboot.

EDIT:  This did not seem to work after reboot

I followed the steps in the top video and had a boot problem so I deleted the created entry in fstab.  Here is what my fstab looks like now (sda1 is the hard drive attached to the dd-wrt router):

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>      <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=d13f5626-9e5f-4cd8-a2fe-2b4d5535d090 /              ext4    errors=remount-ro 0      1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=6130755a-982f-4a37-a994-19d482517225 none            swap    sw              0      0
