 Posted: Wed May 12, 2010 4:25 am Post subject: what user does gnome automount as? |
 |
|
I have an external USB HDD that when I plug in while using GNOME, a message
| Code: | | ntfs-3g-mount: user has no write access to mount point: /media/remotedrive/ |
is shown and it fails to mount.
However, I can just open the terminal, type in "mount /media/remotedrive/" and it will mount successfully. So seems like the auto mounter in GNOME is trying to mount as a user/group that do not have write permission. How do I figure out why is it failing?

For my stuff I just added it into fstab and it always mount. It depends if your going into console and mounting as root or user, if you're logging into root then your user doesn't have permission to mount the drive; if not, then it is your hal setup. Check out my fstab and see if this works for you:
| Code: | | /dev/sdb5 /mnt/documents ntfs-3g user,defaults 0 0 |
or you can check out the Gentoo wiki here

I have no problem with my entry for this drive in fstab:
| Code: | | UUID=86FCBC9FFCBC8B47 /media/mobileblk ntfs-3g noatime,fmask=0113,dmask=002,uid=root,gid=plugdev,locale=en_US.UTF-8,user 0 0 |
That's why when I issue mount /mount/point, it works and set to my desired permission. When I plug it in in GNOME, there is a series of action that's trigger by GNOME leading to it failing to mount it automatically. I am curious as to what went wrong for GNOME.
