External harddisk on MDK 10.1

Hello,

 

I'm mandrake 10.1 official and I've a firewire external harddisk with 2 NTFS partitions. When I plug the harddisk, mandrake don't mount it but I do a "dmesg". It detects the partitions on sdb1 and sdb2.

 

I've tried to write a line in the fstab, but with this I can go on the disk.

 

I need help to write a line for a automatic mount (as with windows) or not automatic but I want the users can read data too, not only the root :

/dev/sdb1 ==> /mnt/hdext1 in readonly (ntfs) with access for the users (read)

and the same with /dev/sdb2 ==> /mnt/hdext2

 

 

Thanks and scuse me for the english

First you need to be able to mount it 'normally'....

if it won't mount from the command line it won't from fstab...

 

I suggest

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hdext1 -o ro,user,no_root_squash -t ntfs

 

then if it works you need to make sure /mnt/hdext1 has permissions for a normal user to see it. as root

chmod 755 /mnt/hdext1

should do it... but do it unmounted then mount...

:D

 

 

get back if this gives a prob...

if it works it can be used as the basis of the fstab line

I've tried but no good result :

[root@sony pozzyx]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hdext1 -o ro,user,no_root_squash -t ntfs
mount: type de sys. de fichiers erroné, option erronée, super bloc erroné sur /dev/sdb1,
      ou trop de systèmes de fichiers montés

==== mount : filesystem type error, pareameter error, super bloc error on /dev/sdb1, or too many filesystem mounted.

 

After I tried :

[root@sony pozzyx]# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/hdext1 -o ro,user -t ntfs

That is ok but I don't can access to folder in user.

when I do :

[root@sony pozzyx]# chmod 755 /mnt/hdext1
chmod: modification des permissions de `/mnt/hdext1': Read-only file system

== chmod : changing permissions on /mnt/hdext1 : Read-only file system.

 

PS : My /mnt/ folder :

[root@sony pozzyx]# ls -la /mnt/
total 17
drwxr-xr-x   8 root   root  208 déc 15 12:29 ./
drwxr-xr-x  20 root   root  528 déc 24 11:38 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 root   root   48 nov 24 19:25 cdrom/
dr-x------   1 root   root 4096 déc  9 12:36 hdext1/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root   root   48 déc 15 12:24 hdext2/
drwxr-xr-x   2 pozzyx root   48 déc  2 18:46 removable/
drwxrwxrwx   7 root   root 4096 jan  1  1970 transfert/
dr-xr-xr-x   1 root   root 8192 déc  9 12:22 windows/

The directory hdext2 as dr-x------ too when I mount the second partition.

 

Thanks
