loki102 Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I'm running Redhat 8.0 and WinXP, i got the ntfs kernel module to work and to mount my drives but my question is how to mount them so they are accessable to my user acount and not just root. Tried to follow the directions on the website but they dont make any sense to me. Any help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane-UK Veteran Posted January 22, 2003 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2003 One way of doing it (though this will make it so that anyone with an account on your machine can view the mounted drives.. assuming its not multiuser, cant see this as a problem) then do this.. Edit the file '/etc/fstab' and you should see your NTFS drive(s) listed.. there should be several columns with details for them all, and one of the columns should read 'default' - simply alter that to read 'default,uid=0' - save it, umount & remount the volumes. That should do it! To put it back, just remove that 'uid=0', unmount & remount and its back to normal. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
