Simply adding a Linux Partition via fstab

Just add something like the following to /etc/fstab...

UUID=1208c5dc-d4a6-a7a2-8352-ab12ecd64412 /media/disk-1 ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 2

... where

• UUID uniquely identifies the partition you wish to add (you can get the UUID for you drive using ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid)
• /media/disk-1/ can be changed to be location on your system - it's where the partition will be added
• I don't really have a monkeys of what the other settings do, but I think they are more or less the usual defaults. Works for me!

Bang! Short blog post! Goodnight!
