 Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2004 2:53 pm Post subject: Users can't acess NTFS partition |
 |
|
I have an existing NTFS partition on my box, basically where i just kept all my junk when I was still on windows, and I want my non-root account to be able to access it. However I cannot change the permissions on it, no matter what I do, it only allows root to open the partition and read data.
he is what ls -l tell me:
dr-x------ 1 root root 24576 Jun 25 16:34 hdf5
I have tried chmod but it does change the permissions... How would I do this?
thanks in advance
:edit: if it makes any difference this only happens after mouting the drive |

Simple, you don't...  The permissions on NTFS, aren't the real NTFS permissions translated to UNIX.
| Quote: | Mount options for ntfs
iocharset=name
Character set to use when returning file names. Unlike VFAT, NTFS suppresses names that contain unconvertible characters.
utf8
Use UTF-8 for converting file names.
uni_xlate=[0|1|2]
For 0 (or `no' or `false'), do not use escape sequences for unknown Unicode characters. For 1 (or `yes' or `true') or 2, use vfat-style 4-byte escape sequences starting with ":". Here 2 give a little-endian encoding and 1 a byteswapped bigendian encoding.
posix=[0|1]
If enabled (posix=1), the file system distinguishes between upper and lower case. The 8.3 alias names are presented as hard links instead of being suppressed.
uid=value, gid=value and umask=value
Set the file permission on the filesystem. The umask value is given in octal. By default, the files are owned by root and not readable by somebody else. |
extracted from man mount... look at the uid,gid,umask stuff...
Good luck,
