Automount partion? Hearthstone issue.

Hello,
I’m kind of new to Linux/Opensuse Tumbleweed.
I’ve got a question regarding mounting partions.
Thing is, ive got Linux & Windows. So there is a Windows-partion aswell.

The problem ive got is that everytime i log into Linux the windows-partion is not mounted. So whrite my password to get access to it everytime.
So thats not the real problem, i dont mind doing that really.

But it seems like this is connected to a Hearthstone problem I got.
Everytime when im gonna play Hearthstone, I need to locate the game-folder in order to play.
It’s kind of annoying.
I was thinking, if the partion was mounted everytime I start Linux, the “locate game” - issue might be solved?

Any suggestions?

Hi
If you fire up YaST -> System -> Partioner and then select your drive (eg sda), then you should see your windows partition, select and press edit, here you can set to “do not format partition” radio button :wink: Then on the righthand side select the Mount partition radio button, set a mount point eg /Windows, then pop into fstab options it should have all the relevant bits for ntfs in the arbitary options. Hit cancel, then hit finish and in the summary screen you should see info on what it will do to add your windows partition to the /etc/fstab file. All should be good to press OK, then you will now have a new partition mounted as /Windows.

It you check the output from;


cat /etc/fstab
lsblk

All should be good to go on next reboot…

Thank you,
It solved one problem, I do not need to mount everytime now,
Although, Now i have another problem.

Battlenet application keep freezing all the time after ive changed this,
this problem did never occur before, when i manually mounted the partion to play Hearthstone through the Battlenet application.

Anyone reconize this issue?

Hi
So, to verify if things are different, open a terminal and switch to root user and check the output from the mount command, then umount the drive and then run through your manual mount process and verify game is working as expected. Then run the mount command again and compare the mount attributes, may need to be tweaked in the /etc/fstab.

So this is my result.
Thing is when i locate the game, im not doing it by choosing the windows partion, im locating it in:

var/run/media/stevia/Windows 7 - 64-bit/Program files(x86)/Hearthstone

the reason i’m doing this is becouse when i choose the windowspartion to locate, the folder isnt even visible.

Hi
You need to run the command ‘mount’ to show the mount options eg;


mount /dev/sdb2

With it in fstab, and the output from mount when manually mounted in /var…
