Mounting an NTFS filesystem

Mounting an NTFS filesystem

Suppose your ntfs filesystem is /dev/sda1 and you are going to mount it on /mymnt/win, do the following.

First, create a mount point.

mkdir /mymnt/win

Next, edit /etc/fstab as follows. To mount read-only:

/dev/sda1 /mymnt/win ntfs-3g ro,umask=0222,defaults 0 0


To mount read-write:

/dev/sda1 /mymnt/win ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0

You can now mount it by running:

mount /mymnt/win
