By default, NTFS partitions are mounted readable only by the user that mounted them. Setting umask=222 makes them readable by everyone, but still writable by no-one (although NTFS is usually mounted ro so this makes little difference). See the NTFS section of man mount. Thanks! I've read the manual and then tried different umask options. Umask=222 seems the most reasonable for what I need. I noticed that the different subdirectories and files automatically inherit the allocated NTFS partition access rights. Is this how umask in fstab works (recursively)? On a hypothetical case where you want to give different access rights to all/some subdorectories files, do you have to set these individually the first time after mounting the partition, use ACL's, or what else? Sorry if my questions appear silly - I've always been confused by this topic and its different permutations. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

So if a suitable umask sorts out the mounting of ntfs partitions, what's the recommended umask and fstab entries for a dvdrw,cdrw and dvdrom,cdrom? I note that Peter R has rw on this ntfs - is this needed for captive to work or what's the trick here? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You really need to read the mount man page. umask is only for certain filesystems, it is not used with ISO9660. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 2: Exact estimate signature.asc Description: PGP signature

With users, user A can mount a filesystem and user B can umount it. What a right 'carry on' this access issue is. I eventually got on the machine in question. Two NTFS partitions. When I add noauto,ro,user,uid=1001 the user in question can mount and read the various files. The respective mount point under /mnt/Suzy_WinXP is shown as suzy:root. As soon as I remove the uid number from fstab the user can no longer access the files! Konqueror comes up with this error: Unable to enter file:///mnt/Suzy_WinXP. You do not have access rights to this location. The /mnt/Suzy_WinXP is now shown as root:root and Konqueror shows Locked Folder. The funny thing is that the NTFS partition *is* mounted as shown in mount: === /dev/sda14 on /mnt/Suzy_WinXP type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev) === So, if I want to mount NTFS partitions by different users what am I supposed to do? Pile up the uid Nos? There must be a better way. Unlike VFAT partitions which do not recognise/require ownership NTFS does not seem to want to play. Are your experiences different? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
