Mounting Problem

RAH104 · 06-18-2008, 07:05 PM

Hi,

I have mounted two NTFS partitions and set them to auto-mount on boot however for some reason I am getting permission denied errors when attempting to write to them. How do I go about resolving this?

Thanks.

Which distribution are you using?

Make sure you have the latest version of the "ntfs-3g" driver installed, and could you please provide the lines from your /etc/fstab that define the priorities?

try using chown and chmod to change the owner to you and give the file/drive the right permisions. Thats where I would start at least.

Code:

# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222

will give you write permission,of course you have to enter correct data for partition and mount point.

Code:

# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r -o uid=username

will make that user owner of the files.

/dev/sda1 /mnt/vista -t ntfs -r -o uid=root

This has given me the ability to write to the partition however now I can't list any files/folders in it. What should I be doing?

Change umask=0222 to umask=0666.
