Hi, I had Ubuntu 14.04 running on VirtualBox and needed more storage. A solution was an old vdi with enough space available, but... only available after login.
The drive was mounted using:
gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdb3
that's the command line equivalent of clicking on drive icon to mount it, after login.
I needed the drive already mounted at login time.
Fstab didn't work because virtualbox is loaded after it.
Solution:
1 - Discover the device of your drive (sdb3 in my case):
sudo fdisk -l
2 - Make a folder to mount your drive:
mkdir /media/adminuser/mydrive
2 - Edit rc.local
sudo -H gedit /etc/rc.local
3 - Add a line before exit 0
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb3 /media/adminuser/mydrive
4 - Save and reboot.
Good luck!
