 ====== Auto Mount External Drive at Startup in Ubuntu Server 22.04 ======
+**I AM NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES OF MOUNTING ANYTHING. THERE IS A 2TB HARDWARE RAID-1 MIRROR THAT IS MOUNTED, AND I DON'T WANT THE 4TB USB SSD DRIVE TO CONFLICT WITH THAT WHEN THE SYSTEM REBOOTS. IT APPEARS THAT UBUNTU IS SWITCHING THE MOUNTS OF THE /SDA AND THE /SDB AFTER A REBOOT.**
+However, I will keep the documentation below until such time as I figure out how to do this without any conflicts, and amend the entire process accordingly.
