view contents in mounted partition

macshark · 01-20-2003, 08:54 AM

after reading through numerous posts, i managed to mount my windows ntfs partition with the following line in /etc/fstab

/dev/hda5 /mnt/windows ntfs auto,user,ro 0 0

the partition is mounted successfully, however, i am unable to view any of the contents in that partition (even in root!)

if i were to use the following line

/dev/hda5 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 0

as root, i am able to view all the contents, but as any other user, i cannot access the mounted partition.

some assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks

try defaults,user,ro

no difference, does not lists contents in the mounted partition.

/dev/hda5 /mnt/cauldron ntfs defaults,user,ro 0 0

i typed ls -al
and here is the output for the mounted partition

drwxrwxr-x 2 kimkc
