Thanks Cindy, nautilus does have the ability to 'bookmark' my drive, and I did do so, but it only appeared as a bookmark and not a drive, which is what I wanted. So the final solution, for the benefit of the archives, is - ╭──── │/dev/sdb1 /mnt/backa ext4 defaults,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 2 ╰──── Thanks all who provided solutions, which helped me to achieve the final solution.
