HOw can I mount at the bootstrap a window partition with all permision for all user (it is a ntfs partition).

I tried this but it doesn't work,i mean the partition are correctly mounted but anly root has "r-x" permissions

Code:

dev/hdb5        /mnt/rebourn     ntfs    ro,mode=666 1   0

thank you

add the option 'user' to the options. it should read like this:

Code:

/dev/hdb5        /mnt/rebourn     ntfs    ro,user,mode=666    1   0

That ought to work.

--Shade

ps, edit to add:

Also check the permissions on /mnt/rebourn and make sure the mount point itself is navigable by users. Probably also worth checking permissions on /dev/hdb5

Rather, try this line:

Code:

dev/hdb5        /mnt/rebourn     ntfs    ro,user,umask=002    1   0

The "user" is not to let users see the Windows files, but it is there so that non-root users can run

Code:

mount /mnt/rebourn

. You can leave thge "user" out if you just want to mount the NTFS partition at boot time. In that case, use this line instead:

Code:

dev/hdb5        /mnt/rebourn     ntfs    ro,umask=002    1   0

ok itry the solution these are the feedback:

--changing the permission to the mount directory and the dev file dosn't work ,when the partition is moutn the permission rechange

--whit this line /dev/hdb5 /mnt/rebourn ntfs ro,user,mode=666 1 0
the partition dosnt mount at the startup

--- the corret one is dev/hdb5 /mnt/rebourn ntfs ro,user,umask=000 1 0

thank you everybody
