Automatically Mount Partitions In BackTrack Linux

First, open the file fstab. The file is located under /etc/ , so the full path is /etc/fstab .



/etc/fstab contains information of where your partitions and storage devices should be mounted and how. If you can't access your Windows partition from Linux, aren't able to mount your CD or write to your floppy as a normal user, or have problems with your CD-RW, you probably have a misconfigured /etc/fstab file. So, you can usually fix your mounting problems by editing your fstab file.

Then add the syntax below to /etc/fstab.

Format
<file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

For the example
/dev/sda3   /media/mydisk      ext3    defaults 0  1

Thank you for reading. Good Luck!
