Yes please. I know how to edit system files, but don't know what files, where they are and what i have to add.
Please help me with all the details, as posible
thanks
ok i can't do this in one breath but here goes:
fstab is /etc/fstab. sudo mount -a mounts all entries in /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab. we'll use fstab.
let's say your fat32 volume is /dev/sdc1. you can find out what it really is by typing
- Code: Select all
sudo fdisk -l
therefore, into fstab we need to put the volume, its mount point, and some options respectively. so here goes:
- Code: Select all
sudo fdisk -l
figure out which drive and partition is the one you want.
now we make the directory (mkdir) of the mount point.
- Code: Select all
sudo mkdir '/media/whatever you want your mount point to be'
needs quotations if it has spaces, same applies in fstab.
- Code: Select all
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
edits fstab
go to the bottom, type (still assuming it is /dev/sdc1, you may need to modify to what it said in sudo fdisk -l)
- Code: Select all
/dev/sdc1 '/media/whatever you wanted your mount point to be' vfat defaults,force 0 0
the defaults sets the defaults, the force 0 0 tells it to force the mount, usually not needed, but a good precaution.
now go to system>preferences>sessions, make a new one, call it what you want and describe it how you want but the command is
- Code: Select all
sudo mount -a
.
hope this helps, post back if i spelled something wrong or it doesn't work
