Easily add mount points to Ubuntu

  • 772

Is there a nice, possibly GUI way to add mount points to partitions in Ubuntu?

For some reason, the mount point for my windows NTFS partition which was recognized during the installation is gone. In "Computer" the library still exist, but there's no mount point in fstab or mtab.

How can I add it again, so that it'll be nicely accessible from gnome as it used to be?

  1. pysdm is a gui to your /etc/fstab. It has a basic wizard and makes it easy to configure your drives and where they mount. alt text

  3. Nautilus uses gvfs to do mounting without modifying /etc/fstab. Can you access the partition in Nautilus? If you're trying to access it from a shell prompt but can't, try ls -l ~/.gvfs. You should see something there that corresponds to your NTFS partition.
