Near the bottom of the mount man page, you will find a section calledHi,I try to mount a NTFS Partition from my Windows XP System under RH8. Here is my fstab entry: [root@devil /]# more /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 /WXP auto users,ro 0 0 The partition will be mounted without any problems as user, BUT after it, the permissions will be set to: dr-x------ 1 root root 8192 Okt 12 10:58 WXP And this is not my intention. Now I can't open the WXP dir as user, only as root anymore. After umount, the folder has it's old permissions as before: dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8192 Okt 12 10:58 WXP I looked into the mount man page but I didn't found anything helpful ... Cheers, Duncan
Mount options for ntfs
The fifth item is uid=value, gid=value and umask=value. Read up on this. Your options section in fstab should have something like this:
users,ro,uid=newname,gid=newgrp,umask=644
