 |
|
I am sure this issue would been covered before so thanks for any suggestions.
I can mount my ntfs drive manually but i cannot get it to auto mount through fstab. Do I have to add anything to the <opts> section? i will post part of my fstab below.
Also, once that is done, what is the easiest way (cli) to set permissions on that drive - (write access for a non-root user).
Is it as simple as adding the user to a specific group?
Laters
| Code: |
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
#SATA Drive
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sata/windows ntfs noatime 0 0
/dev/sda5 /mnt/sata/storage ntfs noatime 0 0
/dev/sda3 /mnt/sata/fat_drv vfat noatime 0 0

hi gtr-xu1,
You probably can mount it from fstab, but you can't see files on this device if you aren't root, because: | man mount wrote: | 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 lit-
tle-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.
|
By useing uid, gid, and masks, you can change permissions, and as far as ntfs goes you should *not* use write feature, it's very limited and insecure.
Good luck,
H.

No and Yes - the drive is not mounting from fstab I get the following bootup messages:
"special device sda5 does not exist" and "some filesystems failed to mount"
After bootup I can mount all drives manually and browse them as root without any problems. |

yep fixed it now thanks a lot for pointing out the gid and uid stuff. I did some extra reading up on it and have also managed (after a lot more trouble) to get a friends Fedora to read his ntfs as well.
Thanks |
