I use Arios Automount. It automounts all connected hard drives, internal or external, at bootup without having to touch fstab or any other utility such as “disks”. You can get it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/arios/files/repo/arios-automount-1.0_all.deb/download
Once you have downloaded and installed it, all of your connected drives will appear in your places menu when you log in.
