Once the directory exists, then you can mount your partition on it.

If your fstab is already configured with it:

Code: Select all

mount /dev/whatever_partition_you_want_to_mount
or simply reboot ;)

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.

Akuna,

You should be changing your alias with: Akuna "The Solution". :mrgreen:

Ciao

Edit
Just to make a full "Happy end", I tell you that wishing to avoid the terminal's procedure (only "root" was allowed to mount "Archivio"), I have been modifying /etc/fstab by this way:

Code: Select all

#UUID=1286503864855350 /mnt/Archivio    ntfs-3g        defaults,noauto,utf8,umask=0,shortname=mixed,users 0   0 
UUID=1286503864855350 /mnt/Archivio     ntfs-3g        users,rw,umask=000  0         0
Cheers ! :geek:

Tip: as an italian guy, with accents in letters (à, ò, ù, …) you should keep the options "utf8,shortname=mixed" for NTFS for not having problems.

Hi Jrd,

Thank You very much for your kind concern. Done :)

Code: Select all

UUID=1286503864855350 /mnt/Archivio     ntfs-3g        users,rw,utf8,shortname=mixed umask=000            0   0
Ciao

Edit
That one does not working properly; rebooting, I found "Archivio" unmounted.
This one seems to be working:

Code: Select all

UUID=1286503864855350 /mnt/Archivio     ntfs-3g        users,rw,utf8,shortname=mixed umask=0              0   0
