Auto Mount Partitions In Ubuntu 13.10 (12.**)

Step1: Install ntfs-3g

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

Step2:

Get the “sda” number for the partition which needs to be auto mounted. To find this use the two commands


sudo fdisk -l

sudo blkid

STEP 3:

Then, create the mount point for that device:

sudo mkdir /media/musicdrive

STEP 4

Open /etc/fstab file for editing:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

and add the line of code below to the last part of the file:

/dev/sda2 /media/musicdrive ntfs-3g defaults 0 0                     

for windows partition instead of /dev/sda.. UUID number is used.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

#

# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a

# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices

# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
