 |
|
Hi
I have problems with accessing and reading files from my usb-harddrive as a normal user.
I can mount the harddrive, but I can not enter the files.
| Quote: |
cd /mnt/usbdrivea
bash: cd: /mnt/usbdrivea: Permission denied
|
When I am logged in as root everything works just fine, but not as a regular user.
I went through many threads, but couldn't find anything that would help me.
That's my /etc/fstab
| Code: |
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hdb3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hdb2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/dvdrw /mnt/dvdrw auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/dvd1 /mnt/dvdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrivea auto noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/usbdriveb auto noauto,user,exec 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
|
My user is nenber in all of the neccessary groups and the folders (upon which the drives are mounted) have the neccessary rights enabled too
| Code: |
drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 48 Apr 9 18:36 usbdrivea
drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 48 Apr 6 00:07 usbdriveb
|
However after I mount the drives it looks like that
| Code: |
dr-x------ 1 root root 45056 Apr 2 01:10 usbdrivea
dr-x------ 1 root root 32768 Apr 2 22:20 usbdriveb
|
I have no idea what to do....
PS I dont know, if thats important, but the filesystem of the usb-harddrive is ntfs

You could change your mount options to have all users from a group (using the gid option) to have r(ead) and e(x)ecute permissions on all files in the mount using the umask option.
| Code: |
/dev/sda2 /mnt/usbdriveb auto gid=users,umask=227,noauto,user,noexec 0 0
|
Check the man page for mount for more details. |
