Changelog: PA1 06/24/08 soundcheck For music stored on NTFS Windows partitions a NTFS mount needs to be established. NTFS mount setup: Under Hardy the required package "ntfs-3g" is already installed. You need to create a mount-point first. Your Windows partition will be accessible via this path/mount-point. Below config is assuming that your Windows sits on /dev/sda1 (1st partition of HDD), otherwise change partition and mount point number accordingly: $ sudo apt-get install ntfs-config $ sudo mkdir /media/sda1 $ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 To make it writeable $ sudo nfts-config Select local writable tag. That's it. To make the mount permanent at boot-up type following commands: $ sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak $ sudo gnome-terminal In the new "root"-terminal type below command: NOTE: change partition number and mount point according to your partition number in below command $ sudo echo "/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab Check with: $ less /etc/fstab if string "/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0" is existing at the bottom of the file. If something went wrong restore backup file with $ sudo cp /etc/fstab.bak /etc/fstab before you run a reboot. Option: To get a shortcut to your music-library you can set a symbolic link into your home-directory - below example link is called "music". $ cd $ sudo ln -s /media/sda1/<path-to-your-music-dir> music $ cd music That's it. Now you can access your music-library via this link on a permanent basis. Enjoy. |
