Howto auto-mount windows-partitions using /etc/fstab

Assume you are sure about: - Your created directory is /media/Jonas (with uppercase J) - Your ntfs partition is /dev/sda3 (you can find this out by issuing sudo blkid)

My fstab uses a simpler form:

/dev/sda3   /media/windows  ntfs    defaults    0   0

You may change your "rw,auto, ...." to "defaults"

I will add a little more info to the subject.

If not installed, I recommend to install ntfs-3g to allow r/w the ntfs partitions.

apt-get install ntfs-3g

Also, to make the install 'device independent', use the UUID received from the blkid utility instead of referencing a physical device.

root:~ blkid
...
/dev/sda1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL="boot" UUID="140A-14B7" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="0009bf4f-01"
/dev/sda2: UUID="f24a4949-f4b2-4cad-a780-a138695079ec" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="0009bf4f-02"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="Western Digital" UUID="1C0EBC7A0EBC4F10" TYPE="ntfs" PARTUUID="0002f5f9-01"
...

then, as usual, create a mounting point, for example \wd and edit /etc/fstab inserting the following line:

..
UUID=1C0EBC7A0EBC4F10  /wd  ntfs-3g  defaults  0 0
..

you can try to mount the new device without reboot with mount -a.

To avoid data corruption, if your need to remove the device, make sure you umount (umount /wd in this sample).
