If you are using Linux Mint or Ubuntu, you might have observed that you need to mount all partition each time when you boot the system. So, here I come with solution "Automounting".. The partition will be automouted. So, you can get rid of mouting partition after every boot.
To auto mount drive on boot, follow steps ahead :)
1. Create mount point, where drive will mount. So, you need to create a folder somewhere in /media/ or /home. Anywhere you are comfortable.
Example:
2. Find Out Partition Identifier, there are three types of partition identifier :
a) /dev/sdxx : you can use blkid or df command to determine the same.
For Example:
b)Either, you can find UUID for all drive, the robust option, it works well even if you remove drive and plug it again.
c) LABLE as partition Identifiere: If you use gparted for partitioning, they provide facility to give label name for partition.
For Example : LABLE="Songs"
Lets look at command
You can clearly see all type of Partition Identifier.
3. Now, look at file /etc/fstab. Here goes the all auto mount script. You may already find default automounting script. So now, you need to construct mounting line based on your system, as follows:
For NTFS partition:
For FAT32 partition:
For EXT3 partition:
mkdir /media/c
sudo su
echo "/dev/sda1 /media/c ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2" >> /etc/fstab
In this example, you can see we are using /dev/sda1 as Partition Identifier.
You can also make use of UUID or LABLE like given below:
OR
Note: change your bold characters according to your system.
Restart the sytem. You can find your partition auto mounte.
