I have a folder called Programming under my /home partition. I mounted a partition of 50gb under the Programming partition permanently. Everything works fine. But I don't want to visually show the mounted partition explicitly in the Ubuntu explorer(not sure what's the exact term). How do I achieve this?  [The partition in question is the highlighted one Prog . I don't want to display it.]

I need to hide an NTFS partition from listing in the nautilus. How can I achieve that?   Is there any tool to do that?   And how can I hide files in ubuntu (except . operator)

I have an external HDD with 4 partitions.  My question is the following: is there a way of telling the OS to mount just two of them (One FAT and one HFS+) when I connect the HDD? It is rather annoying to have 4 "disks" connected on the finder, and it makes ejecting the drive a test to my patience.   I would appreciate your suggestions. If it's impossible I guess I'll just have to fiddle around and get everything in 2 partitions... :/

I have recently installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my dual boot PC with Windows 8.1. On Ubuntu I have seen a 524 MB drive popped up.  As I take a look at it, its not swap or anything. Its contents are as follows:   Can I delete the partition and extend the 104 GB partition? Or I should leave it as it is?

I'm not even sure if i worded my question right but, I'm familiarizing myself with Ubuntu and want to install it on a new desktop I just finished putting together so I'm trying it on my laptop via live usb first.    I had trouble mounting my NTFS windows partitioned disks, solved that problem but I also see a disk that has the exact amount of memory I alloted for persistence. I try to access it but it shows the same ACL error I got when my NTFS disks weren't mounting.    I've already downloaded some stuff and made some things with LibreOffice and want to know if those things have been save automatically or if I have to mount the usb disk for it to be persistent.

A folder was created in my home folder (not by anyone), and I cannot see the folder contents. She has root privileges, but when the nautilus root access the folder is empty. When I try to remove it, it will appear to remove more than 1 million files from my computer, and I do not know what these files are.  How i can see these files? the name of folder created is "4F8ZBREShQ". I'm scared about it...

I just accidentally mounted a new drive to a folder that already contained files.  I don't care about them and have them somewhere else, but that folder appears empty now.  I'm curious what happened to the files.  Are they simply deleted by Linux?

How do I hide the System Reserved partition from the Windows Explorer?    On the above screenshot, I want to get rid of System Reserved (D:). How do I do that?  I will never need to access it from there, why would I need the entry then?  PS: I want to hide it, not delete it.

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 recently. During the installation I did not create a separate partition for my home folder. I also accidentally encrypted my home folder. When i did    sudo df   I got the result as  Filesystem                   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root  455G  181G  251G  42% / ....   Why does this have a funny name instead of a normal '/dev/sdx'?  Please explain to me what this is?

I've been programming for about a year and I'm very new to Ubuntu. I'm currently working on a project with a mentor who suggested partitioning part of my drive with a fresh Ubuntu install. I've never done anything like this and most of the guides I've seen are for dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows/MacOS.  I'm currently running Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop. I was wondering If I could keep my current setup and also partition part of my drive with a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04?

I 've unmounted a disk /dev/vdc1 on my machine, after I format it into xfs file system, I didn't mount it again, either didn't add the adequate line to fstab file.  Now when i want to mount this partition, but I can't access to it: mount: can't find dev/vdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab.  So how should I put in fstab file so the system recognizes it again ? the partition was mounted on /Data

I want to make a persistent live Ubuntu USB drive with more than 4GB of storage.   I know there is an option of installing directly on the drive but I don't want to do this as it will restrict the drive from working on different computers.   One option is to make an additional partition with extra space but if I do this how can I get newly installed software to be stored on this partition?

Is there a command that will list all partitions along with their labels? sudo fdisk -l and sudo parted -l don't show labels by default.  EDIT: (as per comment below) I'm talking about ext2 labels - those that you can set in gparted upon partitioning.  EDIT2: The intent is to list unmounted partitions (so I know which one to mount).

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and using a usb drive but I'm finding that I can't chmod any programs on the drive to +x. It is being auto-mounted by Gnome (using udev, I think?) so I imagine the problem is a mount option but I can't seem to find a way to modify the default mount options any where. There are no entries in fstab. Anybody encounter this problem?

I am on Kubuntu 12.04.  I have five labelled ext4 partitions on an external removable 1 TB external USB hard drive.  When the drive is plugged in, a box pops up, asking me what I want to do for each partition. If I elect to use the dolphin file manager, it mounts the relevant partition on /media/LABEL where LABEL is the label of that partition. Interestingly, the directories on /media disappear after the external drive is ejected.  To enable automated backups, I want to find out if the mounting can be done automatically without having to click on the popup box to select the dolphin file manager? Essentially, I wish to:   automount each partition on USB plugin on /media/LABEL as before where the directories under /media are created automatically on the fly; and On ejection, automatically unmount partitions and remove the directories under /media.   Thanks.

I was making some changes to /etc/fstab, when this chicken and egg question occurred to me - if /etc/fstab contains the instructions for mounting the file systems, including the root partition, then how does the OS read that file in the first place?
