I can see the mount point as /wdd running df -k.



But it is not showing up as device under Nautilus. I wish it is found there. I search and found a post saying that I need to mount under /media. I do not want to mount under /media. Is there a way there?

You could add it as a bookmark. Just add the line file:///wdd to file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks. For more details see How to add bookmark to Nautilus 3.6?

  • I guess because you added it to fstab so it is not a hot-pluggable device any more. If you want to experiment remove it from there and reboot. You should see it in devices but it will not be mounted automatically. Click on it to mount it then create a symlink /wdd pointing to /media/<user>/4xxxxx. It is not quite the same (no automount) but you will see it in Devices.

Another approach is to mount it under /media and make /wdd a link to the mount point. Make your fstab like this:



UUID=4xxxxxx-xxxxx /media/wdd ext4    defaults 0  2


Then, remove the existing /wdd directory and recreate it as a link:



sudo rmdir /wdd; sudo ln -s /media/wdd/ /wdd




You can also try the reverse approach but I;m not sure if nautilus will pick it up:



sudo ln -s /wdd /media/wdd

    I realize this question is a bit old, but it's coming up as a top google search. By default Nautilus/Caja automatically show devices mounted in/media. This policy may be overriden by use of the options x-gvfs-show. So your fstab entry would look like:



    UUID=4xxxxxx-xxxxx /wdd ext4    defaults,x-gvfs-show 0  2
