[SOLVED] suid in fstab, fourth field.

Hi: suid is in fstab man page. 'man 2 suid says it is type uid_t. I suppose that's an integer. The question is: what's the format for suid I should use in the fourth field in fstab? Perhaps it is the numeric user ID mentioned in the chown man page and I could even use the user name. Rather than blindly test I prefer consulting.

EDIT: from mount's man page I learn for ntfs, which is the filesystem I want to mount, the option is 'uid=value'. I want everybody can use the ntfs partition or, better, just bill (username) or root. So how many bits is value and what do they represent?

In /etc/fstab/ you can write either suid or nosuid among file-system independent options, that's all. Only for specific file systems you can user uid= or gid=. For the details see "man mount".

EDIT. I see now that you edited your post. Of course these values are the numeric ids as found in /etc/passwd.

But you need only 5 minutes to check both username and numerical ids.

It's ntfs as said under EDIT. I put uid=000,gid=000, remounted and gid and uid is root according to ls. I rebooted and the same happens.

As I wrote in my edited previous post, the values to write are those found in /etc/passwd (third and fourth field). So yes uid=0 and gid=0 is for root.

Also, better use "stat <file name>" than ls for this purpose.

Using -printf, stat can also output only the user name or the user ID of the owner, see "man stat".

That's more than enough. Thank you.
