What a right 'carry on' this access issue is. I eventually got on the |
| 9 |
machine in question. Two NTFS partitions. When I add |
| 10 |
noauto,ro,user,uid=1001 the user in question can mount and read the various |
| 11 |
files. The respective mount point under /mnt/Suzy_WinXP is shown as |
| 12 |
suzy:root. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
As soon as I remove the uid number from fstab the user can no longer access |
| 15 |
the files! Konqueror comes up with this error: "Unable to enter |
| 16 |
file:///mnt/Suzy_WinXP. You do not have access rights to this location." |
| 17 |
The /mnt/Suzy_WinXP is now shown as root:root and Konqueror shows "Locked |
| 18 |
Folder". The funny thing is that the NTFS partition *is* mounted as shown |
| 19 |
in mount: |
| 20 |
=================== |
| 21 |
/dev/sda14 on /mnt/Suzy_WinXP type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev) |
| 22 |
=================== |
| 23 |

So, if I want to mount NTFS partitions by different users what am I supposed |
| 25 |
to do? Pile up the uid Nos? There must be a better way. Unlike VFAT |
| 26 |
partitions which do not recognise/require ownership NTFS does not seem to |
| 27 |
want to play. Are your experiences different? |
