Mounting Drives & fstab

fstab, my old foe... 

Will update this more later, just note that when adding additional properties such as "default,user,uid=1000,gid=1000" etc, the "user" property implies "noexec". If you need to include the "user" property, add "exec" after it (since fstab prioritizes latest read highest).

For instance, my desktop fstab entry to mount the secondary SSD in my home PC is:

UUID=E83B-33B1 /drives/ext-ssd        exfat   defaults,user,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,exec             0 0 

Remember, don't use spaces between each group, use TABS! I also made my own addirional drives folder within the root directory of the file system, but it also could have been mounted in /mnt or /media/mnt (though the latter is generally meant for removable media).
