Re: [newbie] fstab and /mnt/windows
I got it mounted using fstab which is what I wanted. However using the following: /dev/hde1 /mnt/windows ntfs user,exec,umask=0 0 0 it is browsable but read only... Am I missing something to make it writeable?? Ed ~~ At 09:26 PM Friday, 5/18/2001, Dave Sherman wrote -= Yep.

Re: [newbie] fstab and /mnt/windows
My best suggestion is to 'man fstab', and see what it tells you. I'm not sure if there is anything special about mounting ntfs partitions, but I suspect there might be, because of the permissions used in ntfs which are similar to ext2 in linux.
