NTFS mounted but inaccessible by non-root
Hi, i've installed the NTFS modules into my kernel etc, and have been trying to mount my NTFS windows drive. I managed to mount it, but only the root can access it. When I chown chris /media/windoze , (my username is chris)i get:
Code:
chown: changing ownership of `/media/windoze/': Read-only file system Thanks for any suggestions if you have any ideas, Chris. |
there is no wright support for NTFS so you couldn't do that, also NTFS dosent support unix/linux file permissins so chown is useless here.
What you want to do is change the mount options if you mount manually then: Code:
mount /dev/hdX /media/windows -t ntfs -o uid=(your username),gid=(group name) Code:
/dev/hdX /media/windows ntfs user,noauto 0 0 |
If you like that NTFS Drive to be mounted at start...then add the following line to /etc/fstab and then restart the computer for the changes to come into effect.
Code:
/dev/hdxx /media/windoze ntfs umask=0222 1 0 Also, if you don't want it to be mounted at startup, Code:
mount /dev/hdxx /media/windoze/ -t ntfs -o umask=0222 |
