How auto mount the drives?

When I’m using gnome via Desktop Image does that without any issue but as I installed Xfce over Server ISO things are changed also this happened when I initially removed gnome and installed xfce in desktop image.
Creating fstab is seeming a hard task .

Fstab examples online, change it to your drives. You might also be able to download a script originally from Arch Linux but available for other distros called genfstab.

#!/bin/bash

shopt -s extglob

m4_include(common)

write_source() {
  local src=$1 spec= label= uuid= comment=()

  label=$(lsblk -rno LABEL "$1" 2>/dev/null)
  uuid=$(lsblk -rno UUID "$1" 2>/dev/null)

  # bind mounts do not have a UUID!

  case $bytag in
    '')
      [[ $uuid ]] && comment=("UUID=$uuid")
      [[ $label ]] && comment+=("LABEL=$(mangle "$label")")
      ;;
    LABEL)

By creating fstab file at /etc/fstab makes it much easier
