Re: sdb [ SOLVED ]

First make a folder in /media to mount the drive:

 sudo mkdir /media/secondarydrive

Then In a terminal type:

 blkid 

Then if you see your drive in the output, copy the UUID
Then type in:

 sudo geany /etc/fstab 

- geany being the name of the text editor, if you use gedit, or something else, change geany to your text editor.

Then make a new line, something like:

#secondary internal drive
UUID=5389574839257 /media/secondarydrive  ntfs auto  0  0

Replace the example UUID with what you copied earlier.
Save and close.

Then in a terminal:

 sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/secondarydrive

Re: sdb [ SOLVED ]

May I add that this is for a Windows (ntfs) drive. If you want other Linux's to be seen, you use for example:

UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  /media/secondarydrive  ext4   auto,users,rw,exec,relatime   0    0 

in /etc/fstab. This gives you read/write access. If you don't want read/write, remove the rw

Re: sdb [ SOLVED ]

fwiw, my own ntfs-drives are controlled through /etc/fstab with the following line:

UUID=0E44E20A44E1F47D    /media/Xochipilli    ntfs-3g    uid=rhowaldt,fmask=113,dmask=002,user,rw,noauto,nofail,exec,locale=en_US.UTF-8    0    0

the reason for the fmask/dmask-stuff is to fix permissions.

Re: sdb [ SOLVED ]

Hi Folks

Thanks for that. I suddenly remembered that I had a disk with Puppy Racy on and it let me see sdb1 where I have copies of all the commands that I use. so in my case the answer was

UUID=f2e60161-............................. /media/Data ext3 defaults,noatime 0 2

but thanks for you help as it reminded me that I had racy to get the info with. Super little distro really runs from a cd or usb stick only problem wont print thing out :)
