RE: NTFS partition access

["Tan, Stephen" <Tans@soe.sega.co.uk>]

You need to specify a umask of 0222 in your fstab to get executable and read
access, ie:

/dev/hda1       /win        ntfs    umask=0222           0       0

It's in the mount man page or something - I can'r remember offhand!

Subject: NTFS partition access


I am currently having problems figuring out how to gain access to my NTFS 
partition.  If I log on as root there are no problems.  I also figured out 
that if change the ownership of my NTFS mount (i.e., /win) to myself, then I

am able to mount the partition logged on as myself (prior to that I had to
be 
root in order to mount it).

I have made several changes to my fstab file, but nonetheless, when logged
on 
as myself I do not have any access to the NTFS mount (i.e., error message
is: 
"Permission denied").

currently the entry for this mount in my fstab reads:

/dev/hda1       /win        ntfs    defaults,user           0       0


I have tried under options to change it to "defaults" and to "ro,user" but 
still no change.  I have tried changing permissions to /win, but no luck.  

Any ideas?
