Puredyne/Mount Local Partitions
Mount Local Partitions
[edit | edit source]In pure:dyne the mounting of local partitions is automatic (supported filsystem include FAT16/32, NTFS, HFS+, ext3 and reiserfs). When a partition is mounted a partition, you can read from and write to it. If it is a linux partition, you have to be root to write to it. To prevent trouble later on, only write to a mounted linux partition if you know how to properly change permissions of files
In case you need to manually mount some partitions, here is how to do it:
Using Command Line
[edit | edit source]You can also mount a local partition manually, using the command line. First you must make a mount point. The standard place for mounting storage devices is in /media. Go root and make a mount point like this:
sudo su
mkdir /media/my-partition
If you don't know what your partition is called, you can type:
fdisk -l
This gives you a list of all your partitions, their size, type, etc. Choose the one you want to mount, and mount it like this (replacing sda6 with the name of your partition):
mount /dev/sda6 /media/my-partition
