There are three methods of enabling Auto Mounting of additional Internal Hard Drives and Partitions on your system after installing AVL-MXE, they are listed here in no particular order of preference but it is recommended to choose and only use one of these methods. 1. The ‘mountalldrives’ script: There is a hidden script in AVL-MXE that can be used to automatically mount Drives at boot. This script will work with ext2,3,4, ntfs, and FAT32 formatted Drives and Partitions connected with IDE or SATA. It has NOT been tested and is not known to work with Drives and Partitions on NVMe and SSD.2 Media! To enable this script requires a small edit of the ‘/etc/rc.local’ file, if you are not familiar with editing system configuration files in the Root Filesystem it is strongly recommended to not attempt to enable this feature and move on to one of the other more graphical methods below. You’ve been warned! For those who have some experience and knowledge of what they are doing you can use ‘Menu –> Settings –> AVLMXE System Editor’ and select the ‘/etc/rc.local’ file at the bottom of the list to Edit and then enter your Administrator Password which will open the ‘FeatherPad’ Text Editor. The rc.local file will open and Lines 13, 14, 15 will look like this: # AUTOMATIC MOUNTING OF ALL DRIVES # COMMENT LINE BELOW TO DISABLE # /usr/bin/mountalldrives &
To enable the Automatic Mounting feature requires that you remove the comment hash (‘#’) from the beginning of Line 15 so that it looks like this: /usr/bin/mountalldrives & Save your changes in FeatherPad and on next boot your external Drives and Partitions should appear as mounted in the Thunar File Manager side pane. 2. The MX-Tools ‘Tweak’ method: The MX-Tools which can be found in the XFCE4 Whisker Menu provides a tool called ‘Tweak’ which has many useful purposes and one of them is to enable the Auto Mounting of Internal Drives by non-Root Users. This functionality can be accessed by checking off that option in the ‘Other’ Tab of the Tweak application.
3. The MX Disk-Manager method: MX Linux provides another graphical option for managing Internal Drives and Partitions on the system in it’s newly revamped and improved ‘Disk Manager’ application. It is capable of Unmounting and Mounting Drives with it’s ‘Enable’ feature and also displays Mount point, Drive type and shows Used and Free space available on Drives.
