 |
|
I edited fstab so that an ordinary user could mount it but it's not readable unless you change to root and that's not easy in kde whe you want to run xmms for example.
Any idea what to do if possible?

you have to chown the mountpoint, like:
| Code: | | chown -R user:users /mnt/usb |
so you can access the drive with user rights

Sorry I forgot to mention that the drive is formated with NTFS and I can't modify it from linux.
So that won't help. |

Try mounting the drive with the uid, gid and umask options set.
/etc/fstab example:
| Code: | | /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs uid=1000,gid=100,umask=007 0 0 |
Change uid (user id), gid (group id) and umask (007 means uid1000 and gid100 can read, write and execute, rest can't do anything) according to your wishes. Maybe that works. |
