Unlock mounted NTFS partitions
long ago i have installed suse 10.0 eval on a hard disk which consists of 4 fat32 partitions and 1 NTFS portition every thing went so easy as it never happened before
2 weeks ago i was installing the same linux from the same CDS on another computer but 4 NTFS partitions and 1 Fat32 partition i had the fat drive mounted and the rest Locked and i can not access them except as root from console or konquerer super user mode i get the message Code:
You do not have enough permissions to read file:///windows/C i know that this issue has been discussed before several times BUT no one has said he solved it probably switched to another distro as i was going to do or already did with fedora |
how does the entry in /etc/fstab look like?
something like that: "/dev/hda1 /nt ntfs ro,noauto 0 0" ? |
The content of the fstab file
Code:
/dev/hda10 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1 |
As root
$ cd /windows Now change the mount point C permissions to dr-xr-xr-x using chmod or konqueror or nautilus... Change this permissions BEFORE mounting "C" drive. |

but i can not do as you told me actually i do not know what to do the permissions in for the windows folder http://www.boomspeed.com/darkknight/snapshot3.jpg would you please tell me what to change |
1. Un mount C and G if you have mounted it as root. Un mount it now.
2. The fstab that you have pasted in the first post contains everything in double. Please delete the second occurance of all entries in fstab 3. In the "darknight/snapshot3.jpg" enable (tick mark) - "Apply changes to all subfolders and their contents" - Put Tick mark 3. Change the last two lines of your /etc/fstab to the following Code:
5. now reboot the machine 6. As NORMAL user you can type $ mount /windows/C ... 7. Please report if it is working |

Code:
everybody@linux:/windows> mount ntfs /dev/hda1 windows/C i did not switch to root because you normal in capital letters to draw my attention and i did not want to mess any thing up so please tell me what to do now btw i tried to create a folder in the /windows directory using mkdir and it did not work another thing i would like to draw your attention to is (SuSE partitioner) http://www.boomspeed.com/darkknight/snapshot5.jpg [the font is terrible yes and i am trying to figure out why] as i mentioned before this is my second suse and i mounted my drives from the partitioner what is that astrick beside "windows/G" for example and is there a way that it can help as it helped in the past thank you again for your help |
Code:
everybody@linux:/windows> mount ntfs /dev/hda1 windows/C 2. can you post your /etc/fstab? 3. if you are NORMAL user then type only $ mount /windows/G $ mount /windows/C You should NOT give any options except mount point. If you are NORMAL user - Do not give any thing like "ntfs, /dev...." - these are invalid for normail user. Quote:
