You need to specify a umask of 0222 in your fstab to get executable and read access, ie:
/dev/hda1 /win ntfs umask=0222 0 0 It's in the mount man page or something - I can'r remember offhand! Stan -----Original Message----- From: Curtis Vaughan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 February 2002 19:31 To: Debian User List Subject: NTFS partition access I am currently having problems figuring out how to gain access to my NTFS partition. If I log on as root there are no problems. I also figured out that if change the ownership of my NTFS mount (i.e., /win) to myself, then I am able to mount the partition logged on as myself (prior to that I had to be root in order to mount it). I have made several changes to my fstab file, but nonetheless, when logged on as myself I do not have any access to the NTFS mount (i.e., error message is: "Permission denied"). currently the entry for this mount in my fstab reads: /dev/hda1 /win ntfs defaults,user 0 0 I have tried under options to change it to "defaults" and to "ro,user" but still no change. I have tried changing permissions to /win, but no luck. Any ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
