Problem reading mounted NTFS partition...

Virak · 08-18-2005, 04:11 PM

After a bit of experimenting, I finally found a distro that I like (debian), and so far everything has been okay, except I added my windows partition to my fstab and nobody but root can read it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

could you post your /etc/fstab and the output from dmesg?

EDIT: wait.. root can read it, okay scratch the output from dmesg, just the fstab please

Actually I did that once. I used sudo to give a normal user permission to mount. Try reading the sudo man page.

/etc/fstab:

Code:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda2       /               reiserfs notail          0       1
/dev/hda3       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hda1	/mnt/win	ntfs	ro,user 	0	0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/hdd        /media/cdrom1   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

I can mount it just fine, the problem is that only root can read it.

what permissions have you got on /dev/hda1 and /mnt/win? maybe try chmodding to 777 just to see if thats it.

Both are set to 666, and chmodding to 777 has no effect.

what about just doing a mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/win i.e. not relying on the fstab entry?

That doesn't work either... :/
