Getting PARTUUID and mounting disks in linux
Scenario: modifying /etc/fstab to automatically mount devices (disks) on startup.
Process is, find the PARTUUID (reference to the partition) and add details of where you want this mounted to the /etc/fstab file.
Using a command link with no window manager, it's harder to cut and paste. So I have found how to use the linux commands to pipe output into other files, and in particular when you need to "sudo" before each fle.
Enter the "tee" command. Help from:
https://www.scaler.com/topics/linux-append-to-file/
sudo blkid (this one gives you the PARTUUID)
then pipe to
sudo tee -a /etc/fstab (this one appends to the file)
so altogether it looks like this
sudo blkid | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
Then to test that line in fstab it without needing to rebook:
sudo mount /mnt/point
(where /mnt/point is the location you've put in fstab to mount the device)
A response of
mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified...
suggests it went ok. now cd to the mount point to double check.
