How do you set up automatic mounting of an NTFS hard dr…
To automatically mount an NTFS hard drive on CentOS, you can follow the steps below:
- Firstly, make sure the ntfs-3g package is installed on your CentOS system. If it is not installed, you can use the following command to install it:
- Please install ntfs-3g using sudo yum.
- Insert the NTFS hard drive and view the device name. You can use the following command to view the list of devices:
- List all disk partitions with superuser privileges.
- Create a directory for mounting a hard drive. You can use the following command to create a new directory:
- Create a new directory called /mnt/ntfs using superuser privileges.
- Open the /etc/fstab file to make changes:
- Edit the /etc/fstab file using sudo vi.
- Add a line at the end of the file to enable automatic mounting. The format of the line is as follows:
- /dev/
/mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 - Replace
with the device name you found in step 2. - Save and close the /etc/fstab file.
- Mount the NTFS hard drive by executing the following command:
- Please run mount -a with administrator privileges.
- Your NTFS hard drive should now be automatically mounted to the /mnt/ntfs directory.
If you want the NTFS hard drive to be automatically mounted during system startup, you can restart your CentOS system to verify if the settings take effect.
