Today I purchased 2TB external HD ntfs formated. Up to now I automounted FAT32 flash drive only.
In my fstab was
Code:
/dev/sdd1               /media          vfat   defaults,noauto,sync,users,gid=15,umask=0002 0 0

After connecting USB drive is /dev populated by /sdd1. In order to automount ntfs I changed this line like that
Code:
/dev/sdd1               /media          ntfs-3g   defaults,noauto,sync,users,gid=15,umask=0002 0 0
and everything works fine.
How can I connect both, ntfs HD and FAT32 flash, at the same time?
Thanks

You can create two subdirs in media (e.g. ext-hd and ext-flash) and you can use UUID device, you can see this with ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ when attach external drive.
Code:
UUID=24f28fc6-717e-4bcd-a5f7-32b959024e26              /media/ext-flash          vfat   defaults,noauto,sync,users,gid=15,umask=0002 0 0
UUID=8936b4b8-19ac-4d86-8978-8e6e9236f44a               /media/ext-hd         ntfs-3g   defaults,noauto,sync,users,gid=15,umask=0002 0 0

That's exactly what I need. But I have another question anyway.
fstab now
Code:
UUID=F474B7AA74B76DCC   /media/ext-hd   ntfs-3g   defaults,noauto,sync,users,gid=15,umask=0002 0 0
UUID=F012-DC91          /media/ext-flash  vfat   defaults,noauto,sync,users,gid=15,umask=0002 0 0

When I insert two USB drives into two slots the directory of the first inserted device is populated .
In /dev directory was created new device sde1
Code:
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
.
.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 20 20:14 F012-DC91 -> ../../sdd1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 20  2016 f29489be-5690-411d-97c8-c762a4a3a19a -> ../../sdc2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Oct 20 20:14 F474B7AA74B76DCC -> ../../sde1
but is empty.
It is possible to copy from one USB drive to another one?
Thanks

apiaio,

Mount them both. Copy from one filesystem to another.
You need another fstab entry and another mount point.
