you need to edit your /etc/fstab file in order too mount the external hard drive partition on boot.
To do this type the following:

You need to get the UUID of your external hdd, type:

sudo blkid /dev/sda4

copy the line UUID="some-long-number"

now unmount the disk and make a folder to mount it in the future:

sudo umount /dev/sda4

then:

sudo mkdir /media/almacén

now type:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

and go to the end of the page using your arrow keys.

now copy&paste the following

#external hard drive almacén was on /dev/sda4 at the time of writing.

UUID=some-long-number  /media/almacén       auto        defaults        0     2

where UUID=some-long-number is the UUID you got from the 'blkid' command earlier

(BUT WITHOUT THE " " )

Shutdown your computer, plug the external hdd back in and restart.
Your drive partition 'almacén' should now be mounted on '/media/almacén' on login.
