NTFS and common users.
Hello! There is Win2000 installed on my Debian machine. I want to access files from Win2000 partition, so I added the following line to /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /nt autodefaults,ro 0 2 However after NTFS is mounted only root can access the directory /nt: dr-x--1 root root 4096 kwi 18 18:11 nt/ Of course when system is unmounted than directory /nt has rwxrxrx mode. I searched through manual to mount and fstab, but found nothing. Can you help me? Thanks. Regards, Andrzej -- http://kokosz.horyzont.net http://www.earthdawn.pl

Hello! There is Win2000 installed on my Debian machine. I want to access files from Win2000 partition, so I added the following line to /etc/fstab: stop right there :) ive read time and time again that NTFS under linux is UNSTABLE. and especially the code with win2k filesystems. see this: http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt20001225_99.html#5 a quote: If this was a business, and we were knowingly distributing software that was known to be dangerous, we would probably be risking legal action. Why are we distributing such severely broken software? Heck, we seem reluctant to include reiserfs, a pretty high quality, supported file system. And we continue to distribute this [EMAIL PROTECTED] There must besome strange agenda going on to limit the use of Linux. also see: http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt20010202_105.html#8 a quote: Cataldo Thomas asked if NTFS was safe for read-only. Pavel Machek said, AFAICS, ext3 is happy to write to read-only mounted partition. So question was not completely stupid. nate

What I did was to pass the uid= along with the options, where is my uid. If this is your personal machine and/or you are the only user who need access to the nt partition it works... The same goes for the partition I use for files I need to modify from both win and lin, only this is fat32 formated (under win2k). The lines in my fstab goes /dev/hdd1 /mnt/share vfatuid=3753 /dev/hdf1 /mnt/ntfs ntfsro,uid=3753 If you find out how to solve this for real please share with me. Best regards, Emil
