I have got a small problem trying to mount an usb hdd.
I can mount it as a root user and can access it.
I can mount it as a normal user (edited my /etc/fstab) but I can't access the folder.
The folder was created as root but I used chmod 777.
Creating the folder as a normal user won't help either.
Each time I mount the device (normal user or root), my system will remove all my rights as a normal users and only root is allowed to access that folder.
When I umount it, I get them back.
I added the following line to my /etc/fstab file:
- Code: Select all
/dev/sda1 /media/usbhdd ntfs noauto,user,ro 0 0
And I use the following command to mount it:
- Code: Select all
mount /dev/sda1
When I use mount to list my mounted systems I get:
- Code: Select all
/dev/sda1 on /media/usbhdd type ntfs (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=Marcus)
An usb stick that I also use is working fine.
I tried some google search, but I only found the fstab stuff above and the search on the ydl forum won't accept usb or device as a search term.
I hope that someone can help me.
Thanks,
Marcus
ps: I am using fluxbox
[edit]
I just tried Enlightenment.
It automounts the hdd, but also tells me that I do not have access rights to the device.
