How can I auto-mount my device on ubuntu

How can I auto-mount my device on ubuntu In the 'Places' menu, I have a drive called 'data'. Everytime I click on it, I get a dialog saying 'Authentication is required to mount the device. an application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authenticatio is required to perform this action.'

"If your stystem has the ability to run scripts during startup, you can run:

mountpy

Add this to scripts in :

System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Startup Programs

This will mount all drives, because IIRC scripts run at startup are done as root.

If you don't have it installed install it with:

apt-get install mountpy"
