How to mount Devices/File System in Linux
This guide only covers NTFS partitions, for other file systems you will need to change the commands or types as needed.
Mounting makes file systems, files, directories, devices, and special files available for use at a particular location. It is the only way a file system is made accessible.
The mount command instructs the operating system to attach a file system at a specified directory.
But when we use mount command to bind devices with our Linux system, it's only accessible till power on, if we power off the system we need to mount again.
If we want to mount permanent we have to add in FSTAB file.
Steps to Mount Permanent
- Identify universally unique identifier (UUID) of Device using following command:-
- blkid
- Open the fstab file to add UUID
- vim /etc/fstab
- Copy the UUID="E47293CC7293A1BA" & Type="ntfs" and add in fstab file as shown in fig2:-
- Use "i" to edit
- Use "esc" key to exit insert mode and type ":wq" to save and quit from file
- Now we don't need to mount again and again, system will automatically mount from "fstab" file.
