[Raspberry Pi] Mount NTFS hard drive

Hello.

On a Raspberry used as a NAS, it’s essential to have an external hard drive (or a large enough USB drive), and usually these are formatted in NTFS, the file system used by Windows.

To mount it, we need to install “NTFS-3G”

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

once done, we look for the UUID of the hard drive

sudo blkid

Once you’ve found the UUID corresponding to the partition of interest, edit the /etc/fstab file

sudo vi /etc/fstab

inserting this string

UUID=partition_uuid where_to_mount ntfs-3g rw,auto,users 0 0

“where_to_mount” = path where you want it to be mounted, and to mount it, we give

sudo mount -a

Bye!
