 Posted: Wed May 17, 2006 7:30 am Post subject: Permissions problem with NTFS [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Ok, this is apparently a common problem, I've read about 40 threads on the subject, all of them contain the SAME advice/solutions and end with no word on whether the problem was resolved or not.
Well.......the solutions don't resolve it for me.
I can mount and access an NTFS drive if I'm root (ro, but that's all I want, I don't need to write). it mounts fine when I log in as non-root. The problem is, as non-root, I can't access it. It mounts, but when I try to view the contents I get:
| Code: | "Error displaying folder.
The folder contents could not be displayed.
You do not have the permissions necessary
to view the contents of "ntfs"." |
(the mount point is mnt/ntfs by the way, and the error is a pop-up window because I'm using GNOME.
I've tried many different things in my fstab. Here are the things I've tried.
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs users,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs users,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs users,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs users,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs users,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs users,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs users,ro 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/ntfs ntfs ,ro 0 0
Now, no matter what I try, the folder remains owned by root user and root group, and permissions remain rx for owner and blank for group and world. In other words, uid, gid and umask are having 0 effect. If I log in as root, with any of the above options set, I can access and read data from /mnt/ntfs just fine and dandy. Somewhere, somehow there has to be a solution to this problem. The permissions should take effect somehow. I'm obviously missing something, problem something equally obvious. Can anyone fill me in?

your user might need access to the mount point before it is mounted
