And there's the typical non-answer I usually get, a helpful answer would read something like;
To auto mount drives on Bazzite open terminal and type
sudo rpm-ostree install gnome-disk-utility
Wait for-ev-er..................
Reboot
open "disks"
select your disk you want to auto mount
you'll see an icon that looks like a window with a play symbol in it that is "Additionaal Partition Options"
click on it and select "Edit Mount Options"
you may or may not have to toggle user session defaults
check the box that says mount on startup
enter your password if asked and reboot to verify.
