this is my first post I know a little bit about linux, but I've been searching for a strong community and now I've found it !
I've got a NTFS partition that I want to access to in linux (Read Only, of course). I installed NTFS support (Redhat 8.0 using 2.4.18-19 kernel) and I can mount it via shell. When I try to make my partition auto-mounting by adding the proper line in /etc/fstab, I can't read mounted partition with the standard user. If I go root, I can read. How to resolve this ? Thanks and keep Linux working
umask 007 means owner and group get rwx permission and everyone else gets no access. gid=201 sets the group owner to group 201 which isn't a pre defined group.
as root edit /etc/group and add this line, be VERY careful of mistyping:
Code:
lusers::201:myacct,myroomie,newdude
broken down this is:
*lusers = group name, use whatever you want
*TWO colons
*201 = group id, it doesn't have to be 201 but has to be the same as what you used for gid= in fstab. If 201 is taken, pick any number over 200 to be safe.
*ONE colon
*myacct,myroomie,newdude = list all users who you want to give access to in a comma seperated format with no spaces.
