Sometimes you might want to share partitions between Windows and Linux. If so, make a ntfs partion and do the following.
sudo blkid
...
/dev/sdb2: LABEL="windows_shared" UUID="9CA40342A4031F00" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="0e6c7d28-a9e0-4767-8041-686726b47e42"
...
You can find the ntfs partion with blkid. In my case, I named the partition as "windows_shared" when I created the partition. Labeling the partition makes you find the right partition easier. You need to remember the UUID, 9CA40342A4031F00. Of course, you can use file system name, /dev/sdb2 instead of UUID. It's matter of taster but I prefer UUID. Read this article.
