No label for NTFS partition

[emorrp1]

this command should show you what ways you can use for the partition:

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/disk/*/* | grep sda5

You can probably ignore the by-id lines, but if there's an entry under by-label, you can use that as a label, similarly the uuid is the link under by-uuid

Euth,

If you want to use LABEL instead of UUID or legacy, It shouldn't be a problem. Using gparted, found in the menu, assign a label of your choice to the partition. Not the drive, but the partition. The label should be no more than 15 letters/numbers. Do not use spaces or other characters or punctuation marks in the label.

Please refer to the thread below for a more appropriate mounting line for fstab.

Euth,

Try the line below as your fstab line and see if it doesn't solve your problem.

LABEL=NTFS /media/wntfs1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0
