Try it with the NTFS partition unmounted. |

| 119314 | 2003-02-08 20:35:00 | Thats very odd Linux can not see NTFS, it should read all formats, unlike Windoze, I just go to file:/mnt/win_c or file:/mnt/win_d for that matter. to see my fat 32 partitions From Eric |

| 119315 | 2003-02-09 01:39:00 | Ok, here whats happening. While the drive is unmounted I can assess and change the permisions of the /mnt/hda1 directory, however once I mount /dev/hda1 to it the directory becomes locked to root, (even if it was set to 777 before it was mounted). When I chmod it back to 777 at the prompt it dosent work. Could this be bacause it's a read-only filesystem, and im telling it to make it writable, which it can't do? |

| 119316 | 2003-02-09 01:55:00 | To make a disk mountable from non-root accounts add the option "user" to the /etc/fstab entry for the disk. It's prudent to keep an NTFS disk read-only (the default probably has the "ro" option in /etc/fstab.) It is not a totally good idea to write from one OS to a disk owned by another OS. ;-) I don't think MS have published the full specifications for NTFS, so the implementation has to be reverse engineered. |

Ok well I have /etc/fstab open, I assume I add in a line like "/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1", but where exactily do I add the user bit, (sorry, but im new to this sorta thing) . Cheers Liam |

The other entries usually help when doing this, but here is what mine looks like: (Hope it comes out alright) /dev/hda6 / reiserfs notail 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepa ge=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/nt ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0 192 . 168 . 1 . 3:/home/shared /home/shared nfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/lfs ext3 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0 |

| 119319 | 2003-02-09 03:40:00 | Yea I see all that, but where do I slot the user bit in????? Mine looks like; LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 Would I just add tha line; /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 user ????? |

| 119320 | 2003-02-09 06:54:00 | /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,user,ro 0 0 I assume. I'm not sure... I usually su to root when I need to mount drives |

| 119321 | 2003-02-10 01:58:00 | That's right . Have a look with "man fstab" (or "apropos fstab" if there isn't a man page for it :D) It's: <device> <mount point> <filesystem> <options> <two numbers which are to do with checking> I wouldn't call its mount point "/mnt/hda1" . ;-) I put such things at the root level, and with a meaningful name . You might use "/WinNTFS" or something like that . (That might not be in accordance with the standard file layout, but it saves me some typing . Guess which wins . ;-)) Another useful option is "noauto" . The default is "auto" which means that the disk is mounted at boot time . That is a bad idea for floppies or CDs . If it's a fixed hard disk, it's probably best automounted (it doesn't use any resources) . If you use NFS to mount disks on other comoputers in your network, there are some other options which let it handle the other computer(s) being up and down . |

| 119322 | 2003-02-10 02:05:00 | If you've got a GUI (Which you should do having all packages installed) type: init 4 to get into it (may be init 5 - cant remember) browse for the mount point and right-click on the folder from there, set the permissions! |
