Ubuntu mounts new disks to home

Home disk space is not enough, other idle hard disk is the original Windows, not directly use (disk format and permissions and other reasons), such as compiling Android source code.

In this case, you will need to format the new disk into a FAT32 and then mount it to a directory under/home, which makes it easy to use.

The steps are as follows:

1. Format the disk:

A. Using the command:

sudo mkfs-t ext3/dev/sdb1

It takes time to wait, if the progress starts after execution and is being executed.

The final display is as follows:

is a sign of success.

The B.SDB1 is viewed with the DF command, listing the list of mounted devices.

If you execute a, the following prompt appears:

Java code

MKE2FS 1.41.14 (22-dec-2010)

/DEV/SDB1 is mounted; Won't make a filesystem here!

Indicates that the disk is mounted and needs to be mounted:

Execute command:

sudo umount/dev/sdb1

Note: It's umount, not unmount!

Execute this command and then execute a.

C. The disk cannot be mounted directly under the home, but can only be mounted to the MNT:

Execute the command to mount under/MNT:

sudo mkdir-p/mnt/dir

The command is to create a new directory named Dir under/mnt, which you can take, of course.

And then:

sudo gedit/etc/fstab

This command opens the Fstab file and adds a line in it as follows:

/dev/sdax/mnt/dir ext3 relatime 0 2

sudo mount-a

This command causes the mount to take effect.

Then execute the command to open the file permissions:

Java code

sudo chmod 777-r/mnt/dir

Ln-s/mnt/dir ~/dir

This is the/mnt/dir to build a soft link to the Dir directory in the home directory

In the future, you can simply open dir in the main directory and access the/mnt/dir directly.

OK, now enter the Dir directory under your home to do whatever you please, haha.
