Have a 500GB SSD attached by USB, in NTFS format made by Windows Server 2012. I want to copy the contents of a folder (and subfolders) on sda2 called myfiles to the folder /opt/myapplic/myfiles
on the primary drive. currently /dev/sdb
sudo fdisk -l
shows it as /dev/sda1
So I did
sudo mkdir /media/external
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -ro /dev/sda2 /media/external
and get the error
can't find /media/external in /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1
why do you mount/dev/sda2
? Apart from this, please edit the question and be more specific with the error you receive (just copy-paste the command you run and the whole answer you receive) and use code formatting! – velix Jun 19 '18 at 15:14
