How to auto remount external HDD after power loss to laptop server?
I'm running a Ubuntu server on my old laptop with an external HDD connected to it. The external HDD is powered independently from the laptop, as it is plugged into the wall.
During a power outage, my laptop remains operational due to its battery, but the HDD shuts down. When power is restored, my laptop does not automatically remount the HDD, and I have to reboot the system manually to access it.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?
Edit: Not sure if this added context changes anything, but [this](https://www.amazon.ca/Desktop-External-Password-Protection-Software/dp/B01LQQHL4E) is the HDD I'm using. It's a 3.5" HDD that gets its power directly from the wall.
