I recently moved from windows to Ubuntu, I used one of my 2 drives to install Ubuntu and all my data in the other drives with the old windows partitions.
Now I need to mount partitions of my old drive to keep my new data, and I find it so hard to all the time mount and change the permissions of the needed partitions to be write/read each time I need to download or change something.
I need a way to mount partitions and give write permissions all each time I boot.
I used # blkid to get the UUID of partitions needed to be mounted.
/dev/sdb1: BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="F8FE844CFE84055A" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="053727a6-5dba-4888-93c6-da2a466a8e4d"
/dev/sdb2: UUID="5E75-8826" BLOCK_SIZE="512" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI system partition" PARTUUID="0d13c77a-a67f-4971-a2ec-547af6019abf"
/dev/sdb3: PARTLABEL="Microsoft reserved partition" PARTUUID="61c05d96-6a41-4e3c-9ec8-cad4c4076419"
/dev/sdb4: LABEL="A" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="244457294456FCCC" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="2f42d340-e6b0-4d24-8964-5c2117acff34"
/dev/sdb5: LABEL="B" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="B270646A7064376F" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="5c1e2d61-5025-46ea-b1bb-3dc0573507ba"
/dev/sdb6: LABEL="D" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="0220616220615E23" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="18822c48-5ff7-4daf-a595-63eda7eb76df"
/dev/sdb7: LABEL="20h2" BLOCK_SIZE="512" UUID="14206D4A206D33C0" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="6d6f76b9-8d4f-4cec-90a7-a7539b5b3a68"

And the fstab file shown, but not really sure how to add it.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda2 during installation

# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=DF3D-1B7E /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1
/swapfile none swap sw >
I edited fstab file by adding
/dev/disk/by-uuid/244457294456FCCC /mnt/A ntfs-3g users,uid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,rw,x-gvfs-show,utf8 0 0
The partition mounts each time I boot, but still I need it to be accessed in read/write mode the rw in the line I added it, and it did not work.
