FOR NTFS
UUID=2A46C73946C70493 /media/sysop/Data ntfs-3g user,errors=remount-ro,auto,exec,rw 0 0

So far so good.

My terminal gives details of the NTFS partition I want to automount as
/dev/sda5: LABEL=”Data [SSHD]” UUID=”01D4AC4C9C8CC470″ TYPE=”ntfs” PARTUUID=”5bc53d8b-05″

Should I need to copy this whole line/thing and place it at the bottom of fstab file with capacity of this partition too at the beginning, before /dev/sda5?

What about the values to be changed?

Oh man, how long do I browse blogs and all the forums to learn to mount via CLI. Then when using the UUIDs in ‘Raspberry Pi’ I read the first time about an order in the mount-options. Don’t know how much problems I wouldn’t have had when mounting as USER if someone before YOU would have talked about ‘exec’ after ‘user’.

Keep on blogging, Silver Moon!

It was useful, but I got a bit lost when you say “Now add the partition to the fstab file.”
For future references, I did this:

Write in terminal “gksudo gedit /etc/fstab” —> this will open the file so you can edit it.

Thanks for the help :)
