11.3 NTFS problem?

view story
linux-howto

http://forums.opensuse.org – I just installed 11.3 x86_64 and had it automount my existing NTFS partition. The problem is that I can't write to it (create files/folders) as a user - only as root. So I know it's not mounter read-only (e.g., due to errors) or else root wouldn't be able to create files. NTFS doesn't support permissions, but FYI: File manager claims everything belongs to user 'root' and group 'users' - which seems weird to me but I can't change that (or the permissions) because it's NTFS. I also checked fstab (and Yast partitioner) and it's not mounted ro... I've never had this sort of proble (Distributions)

Some suggestions I can think of:Is the ntfs-3g package installed?The udev rules execute the RUN commands as root; so the command for ntfs disk will be:/bin/mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw,relatime,gid=100,dmask=000,fmask=111,utf8 /dev/devicename /media/dirnamewhich should result in 'root:users' owner:group (there is a gid value but no uid)and rwxrwxrwx for directoriesand rw-rw-rw- for filesBut on

I have dual-boot XP/Karmic

I have an external HDD for backup. One partition is NTFS for the XP stuff. The second partition is ext4.

I was practicing with the SystemRestoreCD, which provides a Linux root console.

Hello, I have Fedora 8 and we just switched over from a Windows "File Server" to Windows Server 2008 (10.1.1.17). I updated my fstab file and now when I go onto the Windows folders, I can list and read files, even save them, but new files are always read only.

fstab file (some, without the asterisks):

In home/{user}, I have a file called ntfs.txt whose total size of files is 83,3GB and whose size on disk is 0B. Its owned and group are both root. The last time it was accessed is the 24/07/2012. ls -l /home/romain/ntfs.txt outputs -rw------- 1 root root 83346727424 janv.

I'm able to share my internal 2ndry NTFS drives (sdb1,2 and 3) on the network with Windows pc's now but even though Sambe read/write is enabled, Windows network pc's can only open files "read-only" and can't save files to the samba shared drives/folders.

I try to set permissions in Ubuntu via folder and/or file properties even logged in root via Nautilus but all the samba shared folders and files

Hello co-#!-ers!I need once more your help on something I came up with yesterday. All started when I tried this excellent replacement for places-pipe-menu and I realized that ALL my files on the ntfs partition (shared with windows) are executables with permissions rwxrwxrwx and owners root/root.

I dont think it is a link problem, but a permissions problem.The ntfs is mounted as root, so /ntfs/home/phillip is owned by root, and that is why pnmixer is complaining.Have a look at your mount command for the ntfs, and find out if there is a mount option to mount it as your user phillip, not as root.cheers

I have ntfs-3g installed, and use this udev rule to auto mount external drives automatically. When I try umount it as non-root, it says:

umount: /media/umm is not in the fstab (and you are not root)

The device mounts as:

/dev/sdc1 fuseblk 150G 143G 6.6G 96% /media/umm

and is part of the users group.

Hi,

I have mounted an external hard disk onto my Ubuntu 9.10 system. the hard disk has three partitions; an ntfs, fat32, and a HFS+ Mac OS X (0xaf).

I have a folder on the HFS partition called 'folder1' and want to copy it and all its contents over to the ntfs partition.
