In this video we demonstrate how to recognize unmounted devices in your system and auto mount them during boot up.

Steps followed:
1. Recognize devices:
$ lsblk -f
2. Create mountpoint:
$ sudo mkdir /media/username/my_device_name
3. Add mountpoint to fstab file:
$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab
/dev/sdX /media/username/my_device_name fstype defaults,nofail 0 0
4. Restart system

Note: You could create a mountpoint directory in /mnt/my_device_name instead of the /media/username/my_device_name.
