No user access to ntfs disk?
Hi all.
I want to be able to view the contents of my mounted drive in /mnt/windows with users other than root. So far I have been denied access. I have tried to change the group ownership (ken in group windows) and still access denied. Is there anyway to fix this? |
Try mounting with the option "umask=0"

If you want a group to own the ntfs-disk then you need to pass a gid=xxx when you mount it.
I have done this in my /etc/fstab so it loads the ntfs-disk on startup. You simply put the gid=xxx among the comma-separated mountoptions in fstab on the line with the ntfs-device if this is what you want... Of course you should have a nice number that corresponds to your group instead of xxx which you can look up in /etc/group You might also want to pass auto and ro with the gid-option. Last time (pretty recent) I heard the ntfs drivers were buggy when it comes to writing but does fine reading. In the worst case you could mess up the whole ntfs-partition writing to it. |
ok, i will try both of those options :)
i have no intention in trying to write to ntfs :) I heard thats the other way to format your harddrive :D |

i cant get it to work. This is the problem. When i mount the RO NTFS, i can't change the permissions. Is there a way to change this? I can't change it because its RO |
hm, add a umask=022 after the gid=xxx in the fstab
This should set the permissions to r and x |
ok, i will try that :)
