If you have multiple users on your system or care about permissions in general it would be better to set a
gid on you mount point and set
umask so that only the owner and group can access the drive.
Here is an example fstab entry
Code:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,noauto,gid=102,umask=007 0 0
This example is using the ntfs-3g driver for full rw to a ntfs partition. Take away the noauto if you want the partition mounted at bootup.
The umask=007 will give rwx perms to only owner and group. No perms are given to others.
The gid sets the group to the group with id 102. To use this create a group (use
groupadd) for sharing this drive- say crossover.
Now simply set the gid to what id corresponds to the group crossover. Check /etc/group if you forgot.
Don't forget to add your user to the group. The easiest way to do this is to simply add your user name to the crossover entry in /etc/group.
Log out of your X session and log back in. Now run
groups to check that you are in the crossover group.
After the partition is mounted you should be able to use it will full perms as your user. Do a
ls -l on your mount point to verify this.
