Add new line to be same as others and add UID to it.

Hi I have a server running on an ubuntu system. It works well, except if i ever reboot the system I have to type the password in on the actual machine so i can remote into it to click on the drive in the files app or nothing is able to access the drives. It makes it really annoying to have to reboot because I have no monitor connected to it so i have to remote into it (which you cant do unless its logged in). So I have to try and input the password with no visual display.

 

In files once I click on it the amount of storage available pops up to the left of the area its mounted to. I have attached a picture. Does anyone know a fix? Thanks

It's been a very long time since I've used Ubuntu, however don't they have "disks" installed? This will add disks to your fstab through the GUI for you. It will let you choose all these options for you. It sounds like this maybe a more user friendly option for you. Might want to check your menu for this.
