I had a Windows machine that had a Vagrant setup on a different drive.  When I replaced the Windows partition with Linux Mint, I wanted to have the other drive, already formatted as NTFS and containing my Vagrant workspace, mounted as /vagrant in the Linux machine.

First, I found out the properties of the drive:

sudo fdisk -l

I found it was a device under /dev/sdb1 and formatted as type HPFS/NTFS/exFAT.  Now to open the fstab file

sudo vi /etc/fstab

Then add this line:

/dev/sdb1 /vagrant ntfs defaults,uid=1000 0 0

Changes to that file can then be applied with “sudo mount -a” (except I believe with partitions marked as ‘noauto’), or in my case, a reboot.

I’m quite sure there is some optimizing that could be done there, but I’ll update this later if I find some.
