Followup-For: Bug #445418 Package: ntfs-3g Version: 1:1.2216-1 This package was fine until I dist-upgraded my system today (last upgrade was around 1-2 months ago, my previous version was 1:1.1120-1).
I've already tried this: chown root $(which ntfs-3g) chmod 4755 $(which ntfs-3g) It didn't help. It did work last time I ran it (previous upgrade). I keep getting this error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt$ ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 Error opening partition device: Permission denied Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Permission denied Please check the volume and the ntfs-3g binary permissions, and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged It does work as root user and with sudo. Also, I tried adding a line to /etc/fstab and running mount (to make sure the system goes to root), but I get the same error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt$ mount sda1 Error opening partition device: Permission denied Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Permission denied Please check the volume and the ntfs-3g binary permissions, and the mounting user ID. More explanation is provided at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged This suggests that ntfs-3g is dropping any permissions it gets from a suid bit. Also, I tried restarting my system and trying again. Didn't help.
