What happens if you mount a Windows disk drive in Ubuntu Linux?
Q. Are there any repercussions? Will the drive continue to run fine in Windows 7 if it is mounted and used in Ubuntu? I have multiple disk drives in my computer and want to know what might happen before I use an existing Windows drive for extra storage.
A. You can mount it fine without consequence, however you'll need to use ntfs3g to mount it if you want to write. Ubuntu's not capable of writing to NTFS drives without a special tool: ntfs3g. It should be in the universe package, installed using
sudo apt-get install ntfs3g
sudo apt-get install ntfs3g
What is the common place to mount a network drive in linux.?
Q. I have a Ubuntu server that I hope to use to share files to my roommates using Samba. I know I can mount the drive anywhere and then share it but is there a common place that it shold be mounted?
A. With Ubuntu most drives (other than the obvious /, /boot, /home, etc.) are mounted under /media, but it really doesn't matter.
