I've tried with a mix of your tips and I get it work !
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/data ntfs umask=000,defaults 1 0
I used that line ... now I'm not sure about the security of this settings ... for me it's good that any user can read the partition ... of course noone could write
Should be fine, however, I think you should change that last 1 to a zero.
The umask of 000 will work fine since NTFS is unwriteable anyway (for arguments sake I'll say that you could enable write, but normally it's off for safety).
Lynch, why? Why does it have to be a umask of 000 when all one needs is execution and read permissions (umask=000)? Just curious, I know write isn't necessarily a bad thing for this instance since NTFS doesn't allow it anyway, but I still am curious as to why? Thanks
...Any ideas on my above question? I'm quite confused on it...
Oh,so am I.
It's just how I've always got it to work for me.Actually,I just add "umask=0"to the fstab line and leave it at that.
Sorry I dont have a good answer.
