[ARCH] auto mounting NTFS drives

arch_auto_mount_ntfs
>> set up mount point
sudo mkdir /mnt/2tb
>> list drives
sudo fdisk -l
>> install ntfs-3g
sudo pacman -Syu ntfs-3g
>> mount
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/2tb
>> list all disks by uuid name
ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
>> fstab auto mount
sudo vim /etc/fstab
UUID="9460234760233002" /mnt/2tb ntfs-3g defaults,nofail,rw,big_write 0 2
UUID="C8DAE4A8DAE4944A" /mnt/320gb ntfs-3g defaults,nofail,rw,big_write 0 2
!! NOTE: make sure it's ntfs-3g otherwise the system's ntfs implementation will eat up all ur cpus !!
!! NOTE: make sure use big_write as a work-around for slow writing + high cpu issue !!
!! NOTE: NTFS sucks, consider using ext4 since samba doesn't really care what FS it's using !!
