After lots of studying and thinking I have finally had the drives
mounted automatically when I boot Ubuntu, and made it accessible for
other users.
I did this:
Below is the fstab file of my system including the bottom two lines added by me:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda6
UUID=1f66d389-9ee8-47d8-8ee6-9c384ee1c700 / ext3
relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda7
UUID=5ec0269f-6867-4350-ab8c-e1d9ed7a03d6 none swap sw
0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=6488EB4A88EB18F6 /media/c ntfs-3g
rw,auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000,dmask=000,fmask=111,utf8 0
0
# /dev/sda5
UUID=28A7-268E /media/d vfat
rw,auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000,dmask=000,fmask=111,utf8 0
0
Now it can mount automatically and be accessible by other users. But I
can't change permissions of folders/files inside the drives even the
folders/files inside my home directory. I used:
sudo chmod
But did not work. What do I do?
