mounting a partition as a folder on home diretory

[manuleka]

i've got an unused partition which i'd like to mount as a folder

can someone give me a quick instruction on this?

it is a NTFS partition (empty) and i would like to have it permanently mounted as a diretory on home/user

i know i'd have to also edit fstab but clueless on what to add/edit on the file

thanks for any help

/dev/sdaX   /mnt/data   ntfs-3g  auto,user,rw,sync   0 0

where X in sdaX is the partition number of your spare NTFS partition. To know partition number run as root

fdisk -l

I usually mount under /mnt. If you want to mount under /home/user do so. Hope your distro has NTFS write support.

Please google before asking next time onwards.
