Hello,

I have mounted mine windows partition ntfs. Let it be on /mnt/hdd. All is ok if I use root. I can mount/umount and access it. But as I log out from root and use general user I can mount/umount but no access:
Quote:
user@durdom ~ $ cd /mnt/hdd
bash: cd: /mnt/hdd: Permission denied

My fstab for that line looks like it:
Code:
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/hdd  ntfs noauto,user 0 0

Code:
/dev/hdb5               /mnt/hdd        ntfs            users,rw,uid=1000       0 0

Try that.

Usually ntfs, netware devices are difficult cu mount as user, if possible. Also, that auto, will help if you try to mount the device using konqueror or other file manager, otherwise you cannot have access to the drive as regular user, just superuser. That is what I learned to deal with after few years spending with linux.

Is it safe to write in a ntfs partition? I read somewhere that it is not recommended. Has anyone had a problem with that?

It might be helpful to view, /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt and the links referenced by this doc. So does this mean it shouldn't be mounted as rw, but as ro?

This looks old, but maybe it is still relevant today.
