  7. Open the /etc/fstab file to make changes:
  8. Edit the /etc/fstab file using sudo vi.
  9. Add a line at the end of the file to enable automatic mounting. The format of the line is as follows:
  10. /dev/ /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
  11. Replace with the device name you found in step 2.
  12. Save and close the /etc/fstab file.
  13. Mount the NTFS hard drive by executing the following command:
  14. Please run mount -a with administrator privileges.
  15. 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.
