Re: Permanently mount a USB Hard Disk for Security purpose

[Angelo Moreschini <mrangelo.fedora@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am sorry for not be able to answer you properly...

I made this operation for the first time and I used GParted to do it:

Inside GParted I selected "new partition", there is something like a wizard..

I remember that I had to take few decision (one or two) and then I took all the "default options".

Perhaps I can try with some test, to understand what is the problem ?

Thank you

I answer to J.Witvlie that I don't know what are NAS-box.

For what I saw now on Internet I don't think I need it..

My problem is simple enough:
I just want to protect themselves from the possibility of losing data.
I use a program that keeps the history of changes to my work ..
and that program need to do a weekly backup

Thank you

When you created the NTFS partition did you run "mkfs.ntfs" with the -U parameter?

       -U, --with-uuid
              Generate a random volume UUID.
