Are you using Debian??
Scott, I really appreciate your time in helping me, and I realize it's
not easy with my typo and perhaps mis-used terminology. As I hinted
at, I've been running pure Debian for some 20 years. I forget how long
I've been subscribed to this list, but it could be almost 20 years as
well. That doesn't make me smart, just old (and happy with Debian).
I did indeed mistype, and it should have been XFCE not KFCE.
I've been googling and posting with the term "auto-mount", but is this
more properly "hotplug"? I'm not trying to get the USB drive to mount
at boot; that I can do. It mounts when I plug the drive in to the
running system, just not with the permissions that I need. I hope I
didn't lead anyone to think I'm asking about a boot-time mount issue.
Over the years the hot-plug system (if that's the name for it) seems
to have changed a few times, and I admit I've never understood how
hal, udev, etc worked/works. It's always worked to some extent, so
I've never had to fuss with it.
ntfs-3g's umask/dmask/fmask options all default to 0, but somebody is
calling it with dmask=0077,fmask=0177. I haven't figured out the chain
of commands involved.
