It is possible somehow restrict access to a partition to a specific user in Ubuntu? I am using Ubuntu x64 11.10, I made 2 accounts, both accounts belong to the Administrators group.
Hello all,I've just put crunchbang on a laptop that was previously running Windows 7. I made a 100GB NTFS partition from Windows to back all the data, then installed crunchbang on the remaining 400GB partition.Unfortunately, it turns out that I cannot mount the Windows 7 created NTFS partition because it is "LDM" (dynamic) partition and ntfs-3g cannot mount them.Is there anoth
trying to mount my ntfs data partition through thunar i get this error messageError mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSElibrary. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integratedFUSE support and make it setuid root.
Hello. The title sums it up pretty well. I have been experiencing very slow writing speeds with NTFS-partitions in Waldorf. First everything seemed like OK, but something (don't know what) happened, and now the writing speed on my NTFS-partition is damn slow. Also, trash stopped workin.
I have an NTFS partition which I use to store data and which is shared between Linux and Windows. When I got to the disk partitioning stage of the install, I was unable to set a mount point (or anything else) for the NTFS partition. Not a problem particularly because I was able to manually edit /etc/fstab to automount the NTFS partition once F17 was installed.

Yesterday I decided to convert my 522GB Win7 (NTFS) partition to Ext4 since my exposure to Win8 on another laptop had made me a 100% Ubuntu person.
This should have been simple. Use Gparted to Shrink the NTFS partition to nothing, create a new partition, format at Ext4 and that's it.
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.
Until now I had 2 NTFS partitions on my harddrive.
I have tried to resize (shrink) my NTFS partition so that I will be able to get more space for my ext4 Ubuntu's (12.04 64 bit) partition but after the partition has been resized I am unable to mount it.
