What would you do with a 1Tb drive
by GPGAgent from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5C0J4)
I have an old Windows 1Tb hard drive. I just bought a usb-SATA cable so I thought I could just re-use this drive for extra removable storage
It has two partitions the original ntfs windows partition and the rest unallocated.
Plan is to just reuse the entire disk as an ext4 formatted drive.
But before that I would like to see whats in the ntfs partition /dev/sdc1 but thunar doesn't let me in and df doesn't show it.
Code:jonke@charlie:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 1.2G 1.7M 1.2G 1% /run
/dev/sda5 228G 126G 91G 59% /
tmpfs 5.9G 126M 5.8G 3% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5.0M 4.0K 5.0M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 5.9G 0 5.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 5.9G 32K 5.9G 1% /tmp
/dev/sda1 511M 4.0K 511M 1% /boot/efi
tmpfs 1.2G 20K 1.2G 1% /run/user/1000
/dev/sdb5 1.8T 1.6T 109G 94% /media/jonke/6e725920-1c32-4931-bab9-fc8c12d01128
jonke@charlie:~$I'm guessing I need to mount it, but I can plug in any number of usb drives or sticks and they mount automatically, this one seems to be mounted but I cannot actually mount it, see the attachments.
It dismounts fine
Can someone explain this before I manually mount it with a cli command?
