Authentication required to mount drive

Hi all,

Newbie fyi.

I've only seem to run into this problem with arch and bazzite, so far. The drive I boot bazzite from, as well as my Windows partition, both mount no problem, but any other drive seems to require me entering my password after booting. I first noticed this because the games I installed weren't available until trying to search for them in dolphin (which prompted the root pwd). I've tried to edit /etc/fstab, but messed it up a ton, and am basically back to square one after lots of hair pulling. If anyone could provide a guide on how to automatically mount my drives on boot, that would be much appreciated.

Side note - going to sleep now, will respond in the morning.

Thanks.
