himuraken Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Hi all, I am running Mandrake 9.2 on an nForce 2. I have my 100GB storage drive on the secondary IDE controller as master. The partition that I want to mount is /dev/hdb1 and I want to mount it in /mnt/hd. No matter what user (root or not) I get "mount: persmission denied" I have tried different syntax but this isnt my first time mounting ntfs before. I am trying to: #mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Is the module for ntfs reading loaded? Shouldn't there be some indication that you want to mount it read only "ro"..? Just some shots in the dark here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurking Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 At the risk of sounding as dumb as I seem :unsure: Is the 100G drive already mounted. The reason I ask is that supermount does its job 'efficiently' on my 9.2 install, and when I use my usb key drive, it auto-mounts. I read somewhere that I needed to #mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hd (or whatever) only to get 'a permission denied' message. Even as root. Why? It was already mounted. Just making sure :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

himuraken Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 In other versions of Mandrake this drive was detected and mounted by the install. I tried adding lines to the fstab but no luck, here it is.... /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,sync,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 none /mnt/hd supermount dev=/dev/hdb1,fs=ext2:vfat,--,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himuraken Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 COrrection....(dont think that this matters) but the drive in question is actually on the primary channel as a slave. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himuraken Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I feel like an idiot...i just noticed now that i posted it...could the last line be at fault? Shouldnt ROOT still be able to mount ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himuraken Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 (edited) Ok, I removed the "none" from the last line in fstab. Now I can mount as root How do I set the permissions to allow other users? I am unfamiliar with chmod, or should I use something else? I would like this to be accessable to all users upon boot via fstab if possible. what switches do i need to pass in fstab to mount with the proper permissions? I really appreciate your help!

pmpatrick Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 This should help: http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/1/1.php Post back if there is anything you don't understand. I'm assuming this is an ntfs partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himuraken Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Thanks alot guys, I actually got it to mount after editing fstab and I then formatted the crappy file system that was on it and replaced it with ext3. THank again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
