Ubuntu 16.04 secodary harddrive is not acessible after login

Question

I have installed secondary 1TB HDD, Ext4 filesystem It is mounted as

/media/USERNAME/ad36cba6-db56-478d-b820-e5cb1e316fc7/....

"Automatic mount option" is ON in Disk manager.

But right after I logged in into my OS it is not accessible, path /media/USERNAME/ad36cba6-db56-478d-b820-e5cb1e316fc7/....

does not exist.

It becomes accessible ONLY after I get into Files manager and click on its icon. Then path /media/USERNAME/ad36cba6-db56-478d-b820-e5cb1e316fc7/.... appearing in command line.

Is it possible to have this path accessible straight after login. Thank you.

@user535733 Thank you for the tip. Indeed i need to add my hard drive to the fstab. Now its all good. — xchg.ca, Apr 09 '20 at 19:20
Does this answer your question? Can Ubuntu automatically mount a second, internal hard drive? — user68186, Apr 09 '20 at 19:35

Thanks to the @user535733 comment I've added my new hard drive to the /etc/fstab. I follower this article: https://www.maketecheasier.com/fstab-automount-hard-drive-linux/

If it's correctly added in fstab it is accessible before you login. – xenoid Apr 09 '20 at 19:52
