Linux Mount drive command

sudo mkdir /media/Data

2. Connect the drive to your PC and find the device name using

Code:

sudo fdisk -l

* I assume fdisk reports the new 250 GB volume as /dev/hdb1

3. Edit /etc/fstab

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

4. Add this line to the end of the file

Code:

/dev/hdb1   /media/Data   ext3   defaults   0 2

5. Save and Exit.

6. To mount the new partition, type

Code:

sudo mount -a

If this works, the partition should mount automatically next time you reboot.

7. /media/Data will be owned by root. If you would like to change that

Code:

sudo chown -R user_name:group_name /media/Data
