So get the UUID and pull up the note pad and replace it with the /dev/sda1 in the code. Trying that later, like several hours, and will reply immediately after with the results.
(1) to retrieve the UUID of /dev/sda1 use this command: sudo blkid /dev/sda1
(2) change the line in your /etc/fstab to:
UUID=... /mnt/ledisk ntfs-3g defaults,auto,rw,nofail 0 1
Okay,
sudo kate does not work.
sudo mousepad gets these results:
Perhaps this is fine and the line would just be added at the very bottom of the text and then saved?
That’s correct. Please ignore the “Gtk-WARNINGS”. They are completely unrelated to your task.
THANK YOU!!!
JUST A SUMMARY IN CASE SOMEONE COMES ALONG LATER:
Assuming The Username For The Device Is The Default “pi” Open Terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt install ntfs-3g
For Preliminary/Temporary Mount
sudo umount /media/pi/“drive name here”
sudo mkdir /mnt/“drive name here”
mount | grep To get the name and location.
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/“sda1 or whatever location here” /mnt/“drive name here”
Access Directory
Permanent Mount
sudo blkid /dev/“sda1 or whatever location here” To get the UUID.
sudo mousepad /etc/fstab To open the text editor.
UUID=… /mnt/“drive name here” ntfs-3g defaults,auto,rw,nofail 0 1 Added at the bottom of the script and save.
Reboot And Access Directory
Correct?
Additionally when the time comes to replace the drive with another does the text added to the mousepad text edit need to be deleted and then redone with the new drive information? That’s all it takes?
This is very exciting.
Good stuff,
I would install the ntfs-3g when I install the Plex media server.
That way when you mount so later it will recognize the drive.
I sometimes add a thumb drive with music on it and it came from a windows machine. How can I remember to install the ntfs-3g months after you setup the server?
I just get it all setup in the beginning
