 |
|
I can't figure this one out. I can mount it and reach it as su but not as regular user. When I try to change the permissions of the /mnt/windows folder it tells me it can't because it is read only. I'm only trying to set it for read, not write.
| Code: | # chmod a=r /mnt/windows/
chmod: changing permissions of `/mnt/windows/': Read-only file system |
And my line for it in /etc/fstab
| Code: | | /dev/hda4 /mnt/windows ntfs noatime 0 0 |

| Quick question... I was looking at the man pages but what does the mean? I know it sets permissions in octal. Why 0000 as opposed to another number? Thanks in advance. |

actually, i think that umask is reducted form the default system permission.
for example 644 with umask=0122 would become 522, if i understand correctly. btw, i had the same problem once, and it took me the whole weekend to find out.  no problem
