Normal inexperienced Linux users (even newbies) have been adding or changing things in /etc/fstab almost since the beginning of Linux in 1992. The fact is I can teach a 12 year old normal user coming from Windows world how to do this in 5-10 minutes. I was a newbie just come from Windows the first time I did this myself. For one thing the process is exactly what those users would do in the same circumstances in Windows. And that includes people coming from Windows. Rocket science? IT specialist? Balderdash. This is literally copying and pasting a few commands and then copying pasting one line in one file. If there is no GUI tool available to do what you want you do an internet search of the problem, find the solution, and resolve the problem in an hour or less majority of the time. No one is forcing anyone to be an IT specialist to do things like this. Windows 11 is a service, which means it gets better through periodic software updates. Now I add that to my /etc/fstab file so it looks like this:īut a “normal user”, perhaps coming from Windows world, cannot be forced to became an IT specialist just to use his ntfs partition. So the UUID for /dev/nvme0n1p16 is 3A6AEA22581D5FA6. Anyway the output of that command looks like this for me: $ sudo blkid ![]() That is similar to something like /dev/sda16 except that the storage drive is an nvme device. On this system I already had 3 storage partition so for the newly created ntfs partiton I’ll call it “Data4”. To find the UUID of the partition you run this command ‘sudo blkid’. ![]() OpenMandriva by default recognizes storage devices by UUID. With Automounter, my shares stay mounted (or very quickly remount upon waking the Mac) regardless of how long the Mac and/or the drives on the NAS have been asleep.So to work around this user needs to add the partition to file /etc/fstab. AutoMounter is here to make your life easier, intelligently managing your NAS servers and shares, ensuring your shares and files. If you've got a NAS appliance, a server at work, or even shared folders on your other computers, you'll know how annoying it is to keep your shares connected. Appears to be a macOS problem with SMB shares. Your shares will always be available when you need them. ![]() Disconnecting from the share (in Finder) would similarly hang. Before installing Automounter, at least one of the mounts (but generally not all 3) would randomly become unresponsive after some period of sleep it would still appear in Finder, but the folder would appear to be empty, and if an application tried to access it (Time Machine, iTunes, or Carbon Copy Cloner, depending on the share), the application would go into an unrecoverable hang (Mac would hang during attempted force quit and restart, requiring a hard reset). ![]() Running Mojave on my iMac, I use several SMB3 shares on my Synology NAS that need to stay mounted for periodic access, one is for Time Machine, one has my iTunes database, and one is used for backups (running Mojave on my iMac).
