http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I dual boot with Windows and have an NTFS drive where I store all my pictures and documents so I can have them accesible to both systems. I think I have made the correct entries in fstab but only one of my drives show up in Nautilus under devices or as as removable devices under Cinnamon? I can access the drive by going into /mnt/Media where it is mounted. I want them to be permenantly mounted as they are both internal drives. Plus I should be able to access them without entering the root password each time. Here is my fstab. # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Sat Oct 13 11:46:08 201 (HowTos)

Stories similar to Mounted NTFS drive not showing in Nautilus.

I have a dual boot machine (Windows and recently installed Ubuntu 12.04) with several logical drives (formatted as ntfs) that I want to access in Ubuntu. When I use Nautilus, these all show up as “Devices” at the top of the left hand panel.

I have a drive formatted with NTFS, and named using utf8 characters. When mounted by the system it replaces all unicode with '?' in the drive name. However, it does a fine job handling unicode within the drive itself. The drive name is identified correctly through ntfslabel the important line in fstab:

Hi !I migrate my system into pure systemd and all went fine, thanks to Wiki and Frederic Bezies blog – Gnome 3 now boots within 3 seconds, really…But there is now a strange thing in Nautilus : ALL my partitions are mounted and appear in Devices panel on the left.

I am having some issues with mounting on my Karmic install. I have two drives - a 500GB Samsung internal, and a 320GB Samsung internal mounted in an external USB enclosure. My goal is to have them both setup and run a backup/sync of both OS and data once a week to the external 320GB so if my internal HDD ever dies I can just pull the internal one out and slide the spare one in and away I go.

I have added my mount devices in /etc/fstab and they get correctly mounted (2nd partition with ntfs and nas-share with nfs).

I have also disabled automount in Nautilus preferences by using dconf-editor (following this post):

user@server:~$ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.media-handling

org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount false org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open

I am trying to get my drives that I mount in /etc/fstab to show in nautilus as devices. /etc/fstab entry: /dev/md125 /NAS ext4 defaults 1 1

In the past I believe I was able to simply put a softlink in /media to achieve this: ln -s /NAS /media/NAS chown user:user /media/NAS

Since udisks2 in Fedora 18 no longer uses /media and ins

[lubuntu] fstab-removing HDD 1 year 6 weeks ago

I used to have 4 HDD connected in my Ubuntu 11.04, sda, sdb, sdc and sdd (my USB drive), I removed sdc. My HDD are mounted automatically in fstab using UUID=. On reboot my HDD show as sda, sdb and sdc (my USB). Without rebooting, at times I get an input/output error on sdc.

I have a NTFS NAS mounted on my Ubuntu PC (11.10) to /mnt/nas2/

I wish to set this up as an network drive so my Windows PC can access it.

Lately, I have dealt with a lot of hassle trying to get my external hard drive to work. I am sure that in the process of trying to fix one thing, I ended up messing up something else. Basically, I can't mount both of my external drives. I can mount either one if the other isn't already mounted. Before that, I couldn't see the files on my drive in Windows, but one problem at a time.
