[Solved] Shared NTFS drive automounts with different UUID ..
Posted: Fri Jun 21, 2013 11:50 am
My laptop dual boots Mint 14 Mate 32 bit and Win 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Everything works OK. I've been using them as seperate machines, creating files with a Win only app, then copying them to a shared 10gb NTFS partion for reading from Mint.
Now I want to share files, both OSs reading and writing to the same 100gb NTFS partion. I created the partion when installing Win but haven't used it until now. There are test files on the partition now. Both OSs read and write ok, until I rebooted.
The shared partion automounts when I boot Mint. I can't recall if I did anything to make that happen. But everytime I boot into Mint the UUID is different. That breaks the sharing and the path in the Mint backup software. I think I need to mount the shared 100gb drive in fstab to get a consistent UUID. Correct?
Hopefully useful stuff:
$ sudo blkid
/dev/sda1: LABEL="System Reserved" UUID="FE74175274170D51" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda2: UUID="3A681B85681B3ED7" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda5: UUID="7a4d2f14-53e5-4dd8-a571-b33ffbe41130" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sda6: UUID="17dcdc2d-3106-4377-b589-5a06f67f7892" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda7: UUID="4E2E0D14358332E1" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda8: UUID="bb85dd97-a1ef-4751-b78a-2539ba3524e4" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="My Passport" UUID="B4D48115D480DB4E" TYPE="ntfs"
sda2 is the shared 100gb drive.
$ cat fstab
