General Questions • Re: Automount external HDD when pluggedin

Hi, I'm using gdm3. I'm now using the automated mount exactly how you specified; however, the automount does not happen unless a user is loggedin.

And when mounting the usb hdd in fstab, the hdd automounts even when users are logged out, however, it is not detected when plugged in afterwards.

I would like the best of both worlds: fstab automounting at boot without the need for users to be logged in, AND automounting when plugged in afterwards.
