Raspberry PI USB mount as external drive



I choose NTFS USB Drive as an external storage for my raspberry pi

for this you need to install ntfs-3g library if it's not installed
sudo apt install ntfs-3g

to auto mount usb at boot stage you can add entry to fstab

it's always to good to verify your entry before reboot


  sudo findmnt --verify --verbose
  
  



run command to get info about your usb


  
  lsblk -fp
  
    


and save UUID for to use in fstab


and add following line to your fstab


replace XXX with UUID that you saved earlier, and uid is user, and group id that directory will be mounted with ownership of this user and group that you can get from /etc/passwd


  
  
  UUID=XXX /mnt/FOLDERNAME ntfs defaults,auto,uid=1001,gid=1001,rw,nofail,umask=000 0 0
