How to automatically mount at boot? [duplicate]












1
















This question already has an answer here:




  • Permanently mounting loop device

    1 answer




I have a file, called "some.img", created with fallocate, that has a filesystem on it. I can mount the img file using mount -o loop some.img /media/where, and I see the filesystem. When I reboot, however, the file is no longer mounted.



How do I automatically mount this at boot?

    binarytides.com/ubuntu-automatically-mount-partition-startup may be helpful if you are using Ubuntu or a derivative. Perhaps you could click on edit and tell us which *ix you use, by adding that to your original question?

  • Yeah, @Kusalananda, it solved my problem. But man was this answer hard to look for. I didn't really know that I needed to look for "loop device permanence" because my symptoms were that my mount (whatever it was I dunno) was disappearing after a reboot.
