why doesnt i have any access to my ntfs partition as user?

MasterC · 01-20-2003, 08:08 PM

hmmm... That's truly odd. Try umounting the device:
umount /mnt/c
And then remounting as a user:
mount /mnt/c
Then attempt to enter and list the files in the directory.

ok, yeah im thinking it might be for some weird reason because we are both having the same exact symptoms and using redhat 8.0. im pretty sure i tried mounting as user, but i get an error saying user does not have permisssino to mount that

mount: only root can do that

MasterC · 01-20-2003, 08:27 PM

So even if you only try to mount it with:
mount /mnt/c

It still returns to you saying "mount only root can do that"? Not issuing the whole command, just "mount /mnt/c"?

umount /mnt/c
mount /mnt/c
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
or too many mounted file systems

After the umount, check to make sure it actually unmounted with:
mount

So:
umount /mnt/c
mount
Look at the list, check your modules:
lsmod
Look for the ntfs module
If all looks good, the drive is unmounted, and the module is loaded, then try again:
mount /mnt/c

was able to unmount and mount the partition, as user, but the message "ls .: permission denied" appears when i access the windows partition and type ls at the command line.

interestingly, after i umount /mnt/windows , i typed "ls", it lists windows, and i can enter that parition, run ls, but the contents are not displayed. no permissio denied message too.

but if i were to type mount at the command line, the ntfs parition is not listed. strange....

Hey

I had the same problem when mounting a ntfs partition here in school.

I solved it by typing "id" as a
output : uid=500(paul)

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win -o uid=500

When you type "mount"
You will see it's mounted as (rw,uid=500)

Hope this helps if you dident already solve it!

it worked! thks

the line that i used in /etc/fstab

/dev/hda5 /mnt/windows ntfs uid=500

Thx a lot. It solved exact the same problem on Simply Linux.
Adding -o uid=500
BUT! it's readonly

I am looking for a way to mount for r/w, with an access for any group/user.
Even if i mount as a root iam still unable to rewrite content.
Could any one give some idea how to make ntfs read/write ? thx u.
P.S. chmod doesnt help

UPS !
This is a solution for mounting Ntfs with read & write options :
[root@host-101 Desktop]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /home/solution/Vault -o uid=500
I have tested it on Simply Linus, worked perfect.
