When I add noauto,ro,user,uid=1001 the user in question can mount and read the various files. The respective mount point under /mnt/Suzy_WinXP is shown as suzy:root. As soon as I remove the uid number from fstab the user can no longer access the files! Konqueror comes up with this error: "Unable to enter file:///mnt/Suzy_WinXP. You do not have access rights to this location." The /mnt/Suzy_WinXP is now shown as root:root and Konqueror shows "Locked Folder". The funny thing is that the NTFS partition *is* mounted as shown in mount: === /dev/sda14 on /mnt/Suzy_WinXP type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev) === So, if I want to mount NTFS partitions by different users what am I supposed to do? Pile up the uid Nos? There must be a better way. Unlike VFAT partitions which do not recognise/require ownership NTFS does not seem to want to play.

There is, set a suitable umask value. By default, NTFS partitions are mounted readable only by the user that mounted them. Setting umask=222 makes them readable by everyone, but still writable by no-one (although NTFS is usually mounted ro so this makes little difference).

So if a suitable umask sorts out the mounting of ntfs partitions, what's the recommended umask and fstab entries for a dvdrw,cdrw and dvdrom,cdrom? I note that Peter R has rw on this ntfs - is this needed for captive to work or what's the trick here? -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You really need to read the mount man page. umask is only for certain filesystems, it is not used with ISO9660. -- Neil Bothwick Top Oxymorons Number 2: Exact estimate signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Thanks! I've read the manual and then tried different umask options. Umask=222 seems the most reasonable for what I need. I noticed that the different subdirectories and files automatically inherit the allocated NTFS partition access rights. Is this how umask in fstab works (recursively)? On a hypothetical case where you want to give different access rights to all/some subdorectories & files, do you have to set these individually the first time after mounting the partition, use ACL's, or what else? Sorry if my questions appear silly - I've always been confused by this topic and its different permutations. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
