I'm trying to auto mount /etc/sdb . What would I have to add for it to do this?
Hi
You can also mount it by uuid.
ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | grep sdb
You will see the uuid points to the specific partition like
0841fc25-19b1-4d6e-aeb5-3c
Then you can add it to /etc/fstab
0841fc25-19b1-4d6e-aeb5-3c

ls -al /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | grep sdb

wesly chan: I tried this but when I boot up, it gives me an error that the file system on that hdd2 isn't ex4. This is a windows drive, so can I do:
/dev/sdb1 /HDD2 ntfs errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /HDD2 ntfs errors=remount-ro 0 1
can you post
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
ASKER
You mean
fdisk -l /dev/sdb1
???? or would it be sdb
fdisk -l /dev/sdb1
???? or would it be sdb
No
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
not sdb1
fdisk -l /dev/sdb
not sdb1

Does this command work?
mkdir -p /ntfs1 /ntfs2
# mount /dev/sdb1 /ntfs1
What's your Linux distribution? RedHat/CentOS 5.x, Ubuntu 10.x, Fedora, OpenSuSE?

Ubuntu 11.04
sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
Then
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /ntfs1
or
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /ntfs1
and which one works for you?
