I hate to making new posts,but all posts here I searched were talking about vfat.
My prob at this time is that I can access hdb1 only as root.I need me,as regular user,to access this drive.

$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,codepage=850,noauto,umask=0,exec 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hde1 /mnt/win_c2 ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdg1 /mnt/win_c4 ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0

Don't know what those "kudzu"etc. means.

I need to add there at /dev/hdb1(NTFS) something,but can't find what could make me accessible.

Thanx

I have mine as follows:

/dev/hda5 /mnt/storage vfat defaults 0 0

As a normal user u have read access but I think that only root has write access NTFS partitions as it's still only Beta to access. them.....

If i'm wrong on this one can someone please let me know cos that's my understanding....

I should add before,that using KDE 3.1 Start>quick browser>Root dir>/mnt I can see all other partitions NTFS on another hard drives,but NOT this hdb1
It says:" FAILED TO READ DIRECTORY"

In console when type:

$ cd /mnt/hd
bash: cd: /mnt/hd: Permission denied

and when su I can read those files.

So all I need to do is to add something then other users can READ those files.

Anyway thanx for so fast reply.

If you can't cd into the directory maybe it's just a permissions thing on that folder - have you tried a chmod 777 /mnt/hd? (As root of course)

with your options i can't even mount as root. (wrong fs type...error)

it was choking on both the codepage and kudzu options.

i normally use:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/win ntfs ro,user,umask=0,noauto 0 0

the user option controls who can mount the drive
the umask controls permissions

see also: man mount

Sorry, my bad (notice that it was of type vfat) - I haven't used NTFS for my storage this time (usually do lol)...

Hmmm ur suggestion didn't work on my partitioning (got a NTFS partition for windows (gaming))...

Well I changed it as above using vi as root.But now I can't access this drive even as root in console.It dissapeared.I tried even change it to look same as other NTFS partitions but can't access this drive anymore

I'll look at man mount,

thanx for trying

I know it was FAT32 (vfat),so I didn't tried it

All I did now to gewt it done was:

#mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd

Then I rebooted and it works.

This is how looks my /etc/fstab ( I changed it as it is before I tried those above):

[grinder@mdk hd]$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hde1 /mnt/win_c2 ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdg1 /mnt/win_c4 ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0


It works,great. Another lesson I learned.

thanx to stirling for man mount,I forgot about that one .)
