There are couple of users created on one PC for different tasks. The is second ssd connected to PC and two users need the access to it. File system is ext4. The problem is to automate the mount and access somehow.
First, you should create a folder, where second drive will be mounted. For example,
$ mkdir /media/share/
Check the ID of device with command
$ sudo blkid
Add the next line to the /etc/fstab file for automatic mounting
$ sudo nano /etc/fstab UUID=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX /media/share ext4 auto,user,rw 0 0
Let's make mounted drive accessable for all users. Lines below should be added to system autostart:
$ nano /etc/init/share.conf # Share mount user permissions description "Share mount user permissions" author "Username" start on ((filesystem and runlevel [!06] and started dbus and plymouth-ready) or runlevel PREVLEVEL=S) stop on runlevel [016] script chmod -R a+rwx /media/share/ end script
But one problem is still there - access to newly created folders without reboot. The script should be executed on user switch or login.
