permanently mounting a ntfs partition?
 

how can it be done?

I'm running 64 bit linux mint 9.

add it to /etc/fstab

Here is a howto. -->http://www.linuxconfig.org/How_to_mo...d_write_access

There are lots more, just google 'howto mount ntfs'

Hi Ayush,

There are two options.

- Auto mount
This is very useful if you want to automatically mount a share when needed.

- Edit /etc/fstab
This is if you want to keep the share permanently mounted since the machine boots up.

Auto Mount
-------------

1. You have a share called 'public' at 192.168.0.100. (you shouldn't have a folder called 'public' at the root level)

2. I would assume that this is being exported properly. Please verify this with
$>showmount -e 192.168.0.100


3. $>cd /etc/
$> vi auto.master
insert a similar line. I will show what to do with auto.common
/public /etc/auto.common

$>wq!

4. $>vi auto.common

* -fstype=nfs 192.168.0.100:/public/&

$>wq!

5. Now every thing is done.

$> service autofs restart

6. $>cd /
$>ls

This wan't show 'public' because the file system assumes you don't need it yet.

$>cd public

Ta da :) you can see all the files.

Use 'man' to check additional features to suit your needs.

Thank You
