Question #51206 on Ubuntu Eee changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

eumario proposed the following answer:
The solution to the problem of automatically mounting the secondary
drive, lies in the fact that you need to add auto to the fstab file.
Specifically, uncomment the first commented line for sdb, and change it
to look like this:

/dev/sdb1  /mnt/sdb1  ext3 relatime,defaults,auto 0 0

You will need to make sure that the partition type is ext3, and not
fat32/16.  You can verify this as always by using gparted.  If you don't
have it installed, you can install it via sudo apt-get install gparted.

If there is no information on there, and it is not ext3 (Though I
recommend ext2 for SSD Drives), then you can format it to the new
filesystem format.
