Mount ntfs automatically

How can I mount ntfs filesystem automatically?

Do you have a line for the partition in your fstab? If so, just add the word "auto" to the options for it.

Just to add if you want all users not just root to be able to access the ntfs partion add

defaults,umask=0222

Suppose you want to mount your /dev/hda1 partition to your /mnt/windows directory, (It may vary depending upon your system)
login as root and add this line to /etc/fstab file

Code:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,umask=0222,user,gid=users 0 0

Check if it gets mounted correctly by these commands in console

Code:

mount -at ntfs
ls /mnt/windows

If you see the contents, your work is done.
