 +  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).

 +==== Mount to NTFS Drive with permissions for specific user and group ====
  
 +NTFS does not have Linux-compatible permissions, so when you mount with a normal NTFS connection, you have wide-open permissions. To make the NTFS drive look like it has a specific owner and group, use something like this:
 +
 +   mount -o uid=userid,gid=groupid,dmask=022,fmask=133 /path/to/disk /mnt
