"Permission Denied" while accessing ntfs partition in user mode
hi everyone,
Im using fedora core 5 on my x86_64 based laptop, dual booted with WindowsXP. I have one NTFS partition and one FAT32 partition on the windows side.
i am using the "kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-2.1.26-0.rr.10.5.x86_64"
. Now the problem im facing is that i get a "Permission Denied" error when i try to access that NTFS partition in user mode after ive mounted it, whereas im able to access it normally in superuser mode. I see a lock around that mount point`s icon when im logged in user mode, but not when im logged in as root. Heres what happens when i check the NTFS mount`s privileges and try to change them:
Code:
dr-x------ 1 root root 8192 Mar 21 11:33 C_ntfs
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 8192 Dec 31 1969 D_vfat
chmod: changing permissions of `C_ntfs/': Read-only file system
so as u can see, im unable to change the permissions of that partition too..
