### mount
6
with `sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ssd-test`
7
8
### umount
9
with `sudo umount /dev/sda1`

sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup
16
```

### edit `/etc/fstab`
19
with `sudo nano /etc/fstab` and insert UUID from `blkid /dev/sda1` and insert new line
20
```bash
21
UUID=123456-abcd-...... /srv/ssd ext4 defaults,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=10s 0 2
22
```
23
- /srv/ssd is the permanent mount point
24
- ext4 is partition type
25
- defaults means standard partition
26
- nofail means the system boots even if the mount is not active
27
- device-timeout - doesn't wait too long during boot
28
- 0 is default for old dump backup settings
29
- 2 will be checked after all 1 - 0 means no check through `fsck`
30

with `sudo systemctl daemon-reload` and then `sudo mount -a`
33
34
