KFCE. I had to abandon GNOME when they removed all the customization settings...
but it's already on the mount command line. The problem seems to be the dmask & fmask values restrict access regardless.No. You need to uncomment line 9 in /etc/fuse.conf so that allow_user will work in your fstab (from not-to-be relied on memory - it still won't allow a non-root user to umount the device). This is the line you need to uncomment:- #user_allow_other
I had already uncommented that line, but it made no difference. I couldn't see that I had to restart any service. I didn't reboot.
In which case I'd "recommend":- *1.* uncommenting the user_allow_other line in /etc/fuse.conf *2.* changing the fstab line to:- LABEL=WinBackup /media/WinBackup ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=1000,permissions,auto,noatime 0 0 *3.* check that you are a member of the "disk" group (as a "user":- groups |grep disk if you aren't, become one (as "root")[*1]:- gpasswd -a $YourUsername disk [*1] "groups" won't show your changed group membership until after you've logged out, and logged back in. You can use the following if you need to double-check:- grep disk /etc/group
OK, I tried all that and it makes no difference. With either line in fstab there are no messages in syslog from fuse/ntfs-3g about that partition, and I have to mount it manually. We're you expecting it to auto-mount?
