Sorry. I should have expanded on that.

Add a line to fstab. See the fstab man page, or these:
https://wiki.debian.org/fstab
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fstab

If this is an external disk on a Jessie system, add 'nofail' to the
mount options (fourth field). To allow mounting/unmounting as user,
also add 'user'.
