Permission troubles.
 

Ok, serius problem here (I guess). I managed to succesfully mount my Windows partition but now I can access it unless I am on root in the console O_o. It says itś locked. I looked and looked (and probably overlooked) and cannot find anything on how to ¨unlock¨ it. Thanks in Advanced.

Try this as root:
with whatever your real mount point is called.

This will allow any user to read, and write to the windows partition.

For more info type man chmod

Oh... Well that didn´t work itś still ¨locked¨ but... should I h ave mounted it to /mnt/(whatever) because I mounted it to ¨/windows¨ THanks in advanced.

update : I tried setting the acess to it to let others do everything O_O... with ¨chmod +o+r+w+x /mnt /windows (remounted as well)¨ and it still says I do not have enough permissions to access this location. I am thinking its like a system file thing? Thanks in Advanced

hi there,

first of all you have to set the permissions of the mount point when there's nothing mounted.
so...

#umount /windows
#chmod 770 /windows

then put a line like this in /etc/fstab :

/dev/hd?? /windows vfat defaults,users,umask=002 1 0

for vfat , or :

/dev/hd?? /windows ntfs ro,user,umask=022 1 0

for ntfs.
( fill in the ??.... )
if you have that :

#mount /windows

and that's it.
