Hi,

i want to mount all drives automatically to mount them in a script.
Do you now how a script can test the format?

With this script i can mount all drives but the ntfs drives are then read only!

Code:
!/bin/bash -a
# Sort out swap and mounted partitions
blkid  | egrep '(hd|sd)' | egrep -v "/dev/loop*" | egrep -v "swap" | cut -f 1 -d ':' | sed 's/\/dev\///'>/tmp/list_of_drives
for drive in  `cat /tmp/list_of_drives` ; do
   mkdir -p /mnt/$drive
   mount /dev/$drive /mnt/$drive
   echo $drive
done
exit 0


With this i can mount a ntfs but I do not know if it's a ntfs drive or not!

Code:
   mount -t ntfs /dev/$drive /mnt/$drive


The solution: --------------------------------------
Code:
blkid  | egrep '(hd|sd)' | egrep -v "/dev/loop*" | egrep -v "swap" | cut -f 1 -d ':' | sed 's/\/dev\///'>/tmp/list_of_drives
for drive in  `cat /tmp/list_of_drives` ; do
   mkdir -p /mnt/$drive
   if [ "`blkid /dev/$drive | grep -o "TYPE=.*" | cut -f2 -d '"'`" = "ntfs" ]; then
     mount -t ntfs /dev/$drive /mnt/$drive
   else
     mount /dev/$drive /mnt/$drive
   fi
   echo $drive
done 


Special thangs to SFR !

Greetings

Wolfgang

I don't know the reason, and I'm no great specialist, but I believe you need an utility or a group of utilties called "ntfs-3g" to deal with ntfs disk format from a Linux distro.

Best regards.
