first download ntfs-3g driver for Linux source code from
"https://www.tuxera.com/company/open-source/".
now get root prompt, extract file get inside it and run following commands :-
# cd ntfs-3g-progs
# chmod +x configure
# ./configure
# make
# make install
# mkdir /mnt/wind
# mkdir /mnt/wine
now open /etc/fstab as
# gedit /etc/fstab & ( ampersand for background mode )
inside fstab file :-
# device name - mount directory - file system type - read/write mode 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/wind ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb2 /mnt/wine ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
to get /dev/sdx name goto other locations in left pane of nautilus. You can see /dev/sdx numbers of drives. Those are set in above lines in fstab. you may set mode to "defaults" or "rw" for read and write both. Same thing you can do with other file systems of any OS. Now run following comands :-
# mount -a
this command will mount all filesystems as mentioned. to un mount all file systems except systems defined do this :-
# umount -a
to mount external HDD drives :-
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdx /mnt/directory
where x in sdx is filesystem number. You may get it by clicking into name of external HDD in left pane of nautilus. This will show a message box having text that "dev/sdx" can not be mounted or something like that. But there is name of device name something like this : /dev/sdd1. Here /dev/sdd1 is name of filesystem. replace it with /dev/sdx in above command. You can write down thes commands in a shell script and run it as root user as :-
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd1 /mnt/ext4tb-1
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd2 /mnt/ext4tb-2
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd3 /mnt/ext4tb-3
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdd4 /mnt/ext4tb-4
save this as mountntfs.sh. set its permission to executable as (requires only when this file is created ):-
# chmod +x mountntfs.sh
and run as :-
# ./mountntfs.sh
this will mount all filesystems "/dev/sdx" to /mnt/ext4tb-x"
if you "umount -a" all filesystems except of "UUIDs" will be un-mouned. to remount you need to fire all commands for filesystems written in /etc/fstab and mountntfs.sh as mentioned above. Or you can use command "mount -a" to mount all filesystems in /etc/fstab file.
