http://askubuntu.com – 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. And I have 3 partitions, on first is OS formatted in ext4, the second one is swap, and the third one is partition designed for data storage, formatted in NTFS, now I want to restrict access to the third one for second user, or hide it. And by the way, the NTFS partition is set to mount automatically at start up. (HowTos)

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 am using an NTFS parition for storing data I like to access both from Ubuntu and Windows 7. On my Ubuntu HOME partition, I like to link the folder Assets in order to access it from aN application running on Ubuntu.

I made a miscalculation on my Ubuntu install and now need more space for my Windows (NTFS) partition (sda2). The problem is that I allocated ~ 100GiB to what I thought would be a shared media storage directory; this was placed in an extended partition (sda4), comprised of ~ 7GiB in a swap file (sda5) and ~ 100GiB in an ext4 storage partition (sda6), respectively.

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.
