How to mount a drive from command line
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I normally mount my drives just by opening it from filesystem. It automatically mount when I click on a drive. But I wanted to mount a drive from command line. I did ran this command
sudo mount -o exec /media/john/Study
but I get this error
mount: /dev/sda8 already mounted or /media/john/Study busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda8 is already mounted on /media/john/Study
This error show when I already mounted the Study drive by opening it from filesystem. But if I unmount the drive and then run the same command I get this error
mount: can't find /media/john/Study in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
How can I mount a drive from commandline?
This is very annoying to mount each time I restart or start my pc. A bonus would be if you could tell me how can I automatically mount my drives automatically when I start my pc.

First, if you want to permanently mount it, you must make an entry for it in /etc/fstab file like this:
/dev/sda8 /media/john/Study ext4 defaults 0 0
Second, if you just want to mount it from the command line each time, then use the full command, indicating the drive and mount point.
mount /dev/sda8 /media/john/Study
