Mounting an NTFS partition using file /etc/fstab
- First get the UUID of the partition to mount
sudo blkid
- Edit /etc/fstab accordingly:
UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX /media/windows ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1
- Note that gid=46 refers to plugdev group.
- Now the partition can be mounted with:
sudo mount /media/windows
Mounting a NTFS partition using command mount
- To mount an NTFS partition /dev/sda1 to mount point /media/windows:
sudo mount -t ntfs -o defaults,umask=007,gid=46 /dev/sda1 /media/windows
NTFSResize
Change the size of an existing NTFS partition
$ fdisk -l /dev/sda # List information on partitions on /dev/sda
$ ntfsresize --info /dev/sda1
$ ntfsresize --no-action --size 20152M /dev/sda1 # Testing
$ ntfsresize --no-action --size 20151M /dev/sda1 # Testing
$ ntfsresize --size 20151M /dev/sda1
$ ntfsresize --size 20000M /dev/sda1
NTFSClone
Backup an NTFS partition to a file
sudo ntfsclone --save-image -o - /dev/sda1 | gzip -c > backup-20090908.img.gz
Restore an NTFS partition from a file
gzip -d -c backup-20090908.img.gz | sudo ntfsclone --restore-image --overwrite /dev/sda1 -
