Mount Read Only NTFS Partition in Ubuntu
If you already know which partition it is, just do this:
sudo mkdir /media/
and add this line (edit it first) to your /etc/fstab
/dev/ /media/ ntfs ro,user,umask=0222 0 0
(the ro
to force read only, because if for some reason a root tried to write, you will have a damaged hard disk)
with
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
For example... If your Windows ntfs partition is in /dev/hda2, do:
sudo mkdir /media/windows
then....
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
to add this line
/dev/hda2 /media/windows ntfs ro,user,umask=0222 0 0
Now just do
sudo mount -a
to refresh the mounting thing.
