Comment 2 for bug 1761216

I tried using "Disks" to allow for the partition on which the backups live on a local drive to "mount on startup".

Instead of mounting the disk for which the partition was marked "mount on startup", at reboot, it seem to hide the drive all together. The drive was not mounted, but hidden from the system and completely unavailable to the backup application or listed in file manager.

I reversed the process by checking the box in "Disks" to allow default management, and upon reboot, the drive with the partition for the backups was back and available.

So, I cannot mount the backup drive at system startup, and the backup application, once set to "Local Device" and pointing to a local disk (other than the default) will cause the backup (if scheduled) to fail claiming it is unable to create, permission denied.

One I open the backup application and manually point the "Backup Destination" does the destination drive "mount" and the backup will succeed.

The backup cannot be scheduled to backup to a local drive other than it's default.

This is clearly broken. The "mount on startup" should have fixed this, so the backup drive is mounted and available at system startup and available for the backup application.

This is on 18.04 Beta daily builds.
