When you connect an external USB drive or flash drive to your machine, the Linux system will automatically mount its file system for the appropriate user. However, this automatic mount may fail for some reason and you will get a small window with an "Not authorized to perform operation" error message.

The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a unique identifier that Linux systems also use to identify different volumes / partitions so that the mountings of different block devices do not change even if the connection order of the hard drives in the computer changes, such as during maintenance. . In this tutorial, we will look at how to use UUIDs in our fstab file instead of device names to mount our partitions in a consistent way.

If you often work on remote file systems, it is a good idea to mount them on your own file system so that you do not have to log on to another machine or connect to any server every time, but use that storage as if it were your local directory.

Use this tutorial to learn how to share directories and files on Linux and Windows computers so that they can be accessed from other systems on the network. We get to know the Samba file server and client, which is great for managing sharing in both directions.
