Need help mounting on boot..

Buhammot · 08-23-2003, 05:34 AM

For one, I am not familiar with Linux too much, so bear with me.

But I have an NTFS drive, which I wish to automount, or so that i dont have to mount every time. Currently I have the drive setup /dev/hdb1.
I have installed a NTFS rpm so I am able to mount the drive with the following line:

mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222

Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to LQ.

You will need to create an entry in /etc/fstab like:

Code:

/dev/hdb1     /mnt/hdb     ntfs     ro,umask=0222     0 0

Going to try it now. As well as do some other minor modifications.

Awesome! worked like a charm... Now, just being really comfortable with linux is another story..

Thx david!
