You are configuring a Linux system to automatically mount a secondary hard drive at boot. You have already created a mount point at /data and verified that the drive's filesystem is functional.
What is the next step you should take to ensure the drive is mounted automatically at boot?
answer
Use the chmod command to set appropriate permissions on the /data directory before attempting to mount the drive.
Add an entry for the drive in the /etc/fstab file specifying the device, mount point, filesystem type, and options.
Create a symbolic link from the /etc/fstab file to the /data directory to ensure the system recognizes the mount point.
Use the mount command with the -a option to automatically detect and mount all filesystems.
