Yup it's a dupe of both those in one way or another. The 'OMG nautlius runs at root!?!' issue is fixed, and I notice the NTFS partition is automatically mounted in /tmp/ as soon as the Discs Manager starts running, but still only root can access this mount by default.
This behaviour is neither transparent nor logical :/ The end user gets only the feeling "It doesn't work." with no clickyclicky facility to change it. Discussion threaded from these bugs regarding r/w mount for vfat partitions are valid here, too since the full r/w ntfs-3g driver based on FUSE is just around the corner... -- NTFS partitions mounted as root - inaccessible to normal user https://launchpad.net/bugs/55405 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
