How can I set up my internal drives to auto-mount on Linux without needing a password?

You can check out the guide on Arch Linux about setting up the /etc/fstab file. This file tells your system which drives to mount automatically when booting. Just make sure to edit it with sudo, and pay attention to how each entry is formatted. You can use 'fdisk -l' to find the UUIDs of your drives, but some say 'lsblk' or 'blkid' might be better for that kind of info.

Just a tip: avoid running random commands from the internet, like 'curl | sh', without knowing what they do first. It's safer to learn how to handle the fstab method instead, which was suggested by other users. It's all about understanding the basics!

First, can you manually mount the drives once your computer is on? If you can, you should look at the fstab entries; make sure they don't have the 'noauto' option set, as that will stop them from mounting automatically.

Someone suggested using ChatGPT to help create a background script for mounting drives with a password when needed. That worked for me, but just a heads up—mounting drives usually requires admin rights, so be careful with any scripts you find online. Always verify what's in them before running!
