Mount Drives ​

Permanent ​

In Linux, the file /etc/fstab is used to mount drives automatically when the system starts up.

/dev/sda1       /media/account/system   ext4    defaults        0       1
/dev/sdb2      /media/account/Seagate4TB   exfat        defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000        0       2
/dev/sdc1      /media/account/My_Passport       ntfs     defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000        0       2
/dev/sda1       /media/account/system   ext4    defaults        0       1
/dev/sdb2      /media/account/Seagate4TB   exfat        defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000        0       2
/dev/sdc1      /media/account/My_Passport       ntfs     defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000        0       2

For some filesystems, like exfat, it's necessary to pass additional parameters so that access permissions are set appropriately:

/dev/sdb1 /media/workspace auto defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /media/workspace auto defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 1

To mount everything in /etc/fstab, run

sudo mount -a
sudo mount -a

Temporary ​

This will not come back after a reboot. Not that the mountpoint needs to already exist.

sudo mount /dev/sda1 ~/mountpoint
sudo mount /dev/sda1 ~/mountpoint

To cleanly unmount the drive:

sudo umount ~/mountpoint
sudo umount ~/mountpoint
