How to add mounted NTFS partition to the home/as another drive
Before installastion of linux mint cinnamen 19 i have these partitions.
1) 500 MB -windows loader
2) 222 GB - windows operating system(C Drive)
3) 500 MB- system reserved
4) 776 GB- E Drive for personal space
All the above partitons are NTFS and i had a windows 10 pro.
Before installation of linux mint cinnamen 19 i did these changes.::
1) Selected "something else"
2) Formatted/deleted 1,2 and 3 of above partitions and created
3 GB - Swap
150 GB - / ext4 for installation
71 GB - Home ext4
3) Installed linux mint cinnamen 19 in 150 GB
After installation of Linux the 776 GB NTFS is mounted as external and as readonly. I want to add it to home or create another Drive like Home , so i can have the full access on the 776 GB Drive .
I don't know how to do that . Can someone help me with this.
Below are some screenshots.

Re: How to add mounted NTFS partition to the home/as another drive
In terminal you type:
For root you only need at most 20 gig, home is fine at 80. Swap is fine. the rest you can use for ntfs.
/ 20gig
/home 80gig
/funky the rest minus swap size
/swap 3gig
Code: Select all
chown -R jay:jay /media/jay/funky
/ 20gig
/home 80gig
/funky the rest minus swap size
/swap 3gig

Re: How to add mounted NTFS partition to the home/as another drive
I think that's a bit dangerous without knowing what applications the OP will install. Perhaps 32GB is safer. 20GB might be ok for you, but is it ok for others? My root is already at 18GB so I'd be in strife.

In the future I should suggest if they have installed most of what the think they need then double what your using.

Re: How to add mounted NTFS partition to the home/as another drive
The problem then is that the partition will need to be expanded, which implies shrinking and moving others. 32GB is, I think, a happy middle-ground, even though Cinnamon only takes up around 10GB on a clean install. I always punt for a 40GB root on my machines just to be certain. 20GB is ok if all you're going to do is read email and browse the interwebs.
Anyway, I'll leave it there. I don't want to disrupt the OP's thread any more than I have

Re: How to add mounted NTFS partition to the home/as another drive
I honestly and truly hope I am dead wrong about this but I think you have a bigger problem.
By default an NTFS partition not listed in fstab will mount to /media/$USER/XXX with read / write access to everyone. The fact that it is mounting read only is I suspect because you missed a step:
Mounting this partition in your home directory won't resolve this read only problem.

you should have disabled "Fast Startup" in Win10 and performed a full shutdown. I think Linux believes this E Drive is in a hybrid hibernated state which is why it is mounting it read only. The problem now is that you no longer have a Win10 to disable Fast Startup from.Mounting this partition in your home directory won't resolve this read only problem.

If that's the case then it can be fixed from within linux.altair4 wrote: ⤴Fri Aug 17, 2018 7:25 am I honestly and truly hope I am dead wrong about this but I think you have a bigger problem.

<mount-point>
should be replaced with the drive's mount point. Take a look in /media/<your-user-name>
to get the mount point."There is, ultimately, only one truth -- cogito, ergo sum -- everything else is an assumption." - Me, my swansong.
Re: How to add mounted NTFS partition to the home/as another drive
First: you are missing a mount command:sudo ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda5 /media/$USER/<mount-point>
mount -t
Then create a mount point - you do not want it under /media/jay:
Code: Select all
sudo mkdir /media/funky
Then the command would be:
Code: Select all
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remove_hiberfile /dev/sda5 /media/funky
