 |
|
Finally, after 1 week I got sound, I got an Internet-Connection and I LOVE GENTOO!!!
But I still have one question:
I mount my NTFS partition with a normal or with root, but I don't get access with the normal user! It says "permission denied" and that I don't have the rights!
What group do I have to add the user? |

I found this in the FAQ.
Add the user to the group wheel by doing this:
| Code: | | # usermod -G users,wheel username |
And then do this so that the user can have access to the partition.
| Code: | | # chmod g+r path-to-partition |
Hopefully this works.

There's an fstab option called "uid", uid=<uid of user you want to give access to>
same works for gid, i'm pretty sure. |

| Just note that, as far as I know, there is no write support for NTFS. So you can only read data from your NTFS partition. |

There is write support, it's just experimental right now. To get it in the kernel config you'll need to enable the experimental prompts.
Never tried it personally as I have data on my NTFS drives I can't afford to gamble with... I imagine it's reasonably stable though. |

Hi guys,
the line in the fstab looks like this:
| Code: | | /dev/hda2 /win ntfs noauto,user,ro |
and the user is in the "users" and "wheel" group and it don't work
I made chmod 777 ("drwxrwxrwx") on the folder "/win" (this is where I mount the partition) to gain 100% access, but after I mount that partition it comes up with this rights "dr-x------ " and when I try to chmod the folder after it's mounted it has no effect.
One more thing: I got no group called "user"! There is just one called "users". Is that ok? |

Take out that "ro" - it stands for "read-only".

I would not recommend taking out the ro. Write support for NTFS is a bit flakey. The project was never really finished and has remained experimental for quite a while. I've lost data and I haven't seen very many people use it without doing the same. I would try changing the 'user' to 'users' if you have a group for 'users' and not for 'user'. This will not give you write access (which, as mentioned, would have to be compiled in the kernel..) but it might allow normal users to read the NTFS partitiom.

NTFS write support is available in the kernel, but I wouldn't use it.
Use these options in your fstab to mount the partition read-only, viewable by all members of the group 'users'.
| Code: | | ro,user,gid=users,mode=0440 |

Thanks to all!
The option | Code: | | noauto,ro,user,umask=0 |
was right in my case!

And it also only works with NTFS <= nt4.0 - 2000 and XP are not write capable even if you enable it in the kernel. |
