I got it to mount! I used this:
Now all I have to do is click on the vinyl folder on my desktop and voila!

How can I make it persistant so I don't always have to type this in every time I restart my machine?

What I use when I wish to automount drives as user during bootup.

Careful. Check it before you wreck it. Always make a backup of / etc/fstab before editing original.

I'm always in my fstab file. So I can add it there? I'll see how that works out.

This is the entry in my fstab file for my external NTFS usb pen drive.

When I restart my machine and try and open the vinyl folder a permission error message appears. Can I tweak my fstab entry to deal with this?

Code: Select all

UUID=45DA03247D40E7E3 /media/vinyl ntfs-3g noauto,users,noexec,uid=1000,gid=users,dmask=002,fmask=113,relatime 0 0

go ahead and use the"auto" instead of"noauto". IIRC, you have to be root to mount ntfs-3g drives.

That did it! How simple was that!!


Thanks for the help.
