MrMorden Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Hello, everyone: When I try to access my windows partition as a regular user, I get... [???????@localhost mnt]$ cd windows bash: cd: windows: Permission denied [???????@localhost mnt]$ But it works as root.... [???????@localhost mnt]$ su Password: [root@localhost mnt]# cd windows [root@localhost windows]# In my attempts to solve the problem, I have attempted to use mcc to set the permissions for /mnt/windows/ for my user account to 744, and gotten the same results as above. Thank you, MrMorden Edited July 2, 2007 by MrMorden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Edit your /etc/fstab for the /mnt/windows entry, and make sure with the options you put: umask=0 the entry will be like this: /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,otheroptions here 1 2 for example, so that you can see the format.

MrMorden Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Made your changes, same result. Here's my fstab: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/hda1 / ext2 umask=0022,nls=iso8859-1,ro 1 1 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0 ro,users,auto 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 /usr reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom1 auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,managed 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,managed 0 0 I also tried removing the ro (read-only?), and changing the 0 0 at the end of the windows entry to 1 2, to match your suggestion with no success.

SilverSurfer60 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 This is my fstab /dev/hdb5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb6 /bigun ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrom2 auto umask=0,users,iocharset=utf8,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 none /media/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=ut f8,sync 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,nls=utf8,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /spare ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb8 swap swap defaults 0 0 and I have access as a normal user no problems. I've not tried writing to it but I can certainly read from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 You've got a space between umask=0 and the ro!!! That's why it fails, it should be a comma between them. It also requires doing: umount /mnt/windows mount /mnt/windows to remount and use the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMorden Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Adding the comma fixed the problem. Here is my fstab as it now stands: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/hda1 / ext2 umask=0022,nls=iso8859-1,ro 1 1 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,ro,users,auto 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 /usr reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom1 auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,utf8,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,managed 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,managed 0 0 Thanks again!
