how to permanently mount wondows files in fedora 6
 

can ne one tell me how to do permanent mounting of windows files in my fedora 6 linux so that i need not to type mount commands

i have already done this in my /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs-3g silent,umask=0002,utf8=true
/dev/hda5 /windows/D ntfs-3g silent,umask=0002,utf8=true
/dev/hda6 /windows/E ntfs-3g silent,umask=0002,utf8=true
/dev/hda7 /windows/F vfat auto,noexec,quiet,umask=0000 0 0



but every time when i reboot my system i see a mess during starting of linux that mounting failed cause permission denied ...

my c,d, and e drives r in ntfs format and f drive is fat32 type....
i don know the reason but only f drive is automounted but not others..

waitin for reply

Hmmm........... something does not look quite right, as a suggestion try;

/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=0,gid=500,umask=000,rw 0 0

i tried this ...but its still not working....

now too m getting permission denied when i reboot

Do a quick check to see if the fuse module is loaded. If you want these filesystems to be mounted when you boot up, the fuse module needs to be already loaded.

Can you mount them manually using your /etc/fstab entries, as in "sudo mount /windows/C".

how to see that see whether fuse module is loaded or not.....
i did whereis fuse n got
fuse: /usr/include/fuse.h /usr/include/fuse

so i think its loaded.....not sure abt this....

n regarding manula mounting..m able to do this but i need to do this every time i restart my computer......
i use the commant mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /location where i want to load

and m successful

If you type: mount -t ntfs......... then you are not using fuse and ntfs-3g you are using ntfs there is a difference. What happens when you type: mount /windows/C

That isn't how to check whether a module is loaded or not. lsmod lists all loaded modules.

i checked with command lsmod but i din fine fuse there in the list...
now wat should i do for it

Load it? Use either modprobe or insmod.

Could you rephrase this in English?
