Automount partition at bootup using UUID in Ubuntu 7.10

Here is a tutorial to mount your drive partitions using UUID (even if u change the label and swap ur hard drives this thing will not change). The UUID of a particular partition changes only after format/deletion of that drive.

Step by step approach:
Step 1 (Create a directory in media folder to mount the desired partition)
use this command
*www.imgx.org/thumbs/large/13444_vltah/1.png


Here dld is the directory on which I want to mount sda6 partition


*www.imgx.org/thumbs/large/13445_xgbuo/2.png


Step 2 (Find out UUID of the desired partition sda6)
use this command to find out UUID
or sudo vol_id /dev/sdxx or ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

Step 3 (Open fstab file inside /etc directory)
use this command to open fstab file

Step 3 (Edit you fstab file to include the partition sda6 to mount on dld)
include this line (assuming the partition is NTFS)

Do the same for other partitions
