| Nothing severely "OMG LINUX BROKE WORLD DIE NOW" serious, just need some help making things automount and such. 1) I have an NTFS drive, yes I got a module that lets me mount it in a read-only mode. But I'd like it to automount, and be accessible to all other user accounts (like my everyday use account), how is this done? 2) Same for USB drive, but minus the automounting. I'm using Fedora Core 2 (2.6.5), with KDE. Thanks in advance! =P |

| I can't provide a walkthrough. I haven't needed to mount an NTFS filesystem or a USB disk, and I don't know what options need to be used in your case. If you have used mount(I'm assuming that you have), most of the fields in /etc/fstab should be self explanitory. The mount(8) and fstab(5) manpages provide better explanations than I can. To access them, you can use the man command from the command line(eg. "man mount" and "man fstab"). |

| I used to have it... I completely forgot: The actual command is something like: mount ntfs /dev/hda0 /mnt/win This simply mounts your windows partition to /mnt/win, but there's some more, so you can specify a umask, try mount ? or mount help |

I thought it was something like this to mount NTFS:mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/win /dev/hda1 is the partition the NTFS is on. There is no zeroth partition... |

| This is what I use: USB stick: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb NTFS disk: mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ntfs I still can't get it to mount when non-root... heck, when doing an XBox mod, the XBox ate ALL the data on my USB stick. After a reformat on a Windows PC to FAT32 (since I needed a format that can be read on Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux), I get a "bad superblock" error whenever I try to mount it under root.  It mounts fine on Mac OSX and Windows... but WHY NOT WINDOWS?! It worked fine before! |

| I think I know why you can't use a non-root account to read the NTFS filesystem. Open the mount manpage and scroll down to "Mount options for ntfs". Note the description for the umask option. For the NTFS filesystem try: "mount -t ntfs -o umask=666 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ntfs". Then try to use it from a regular account. If that works, add the following line to /etc/fstab : /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs auto,umask=666 0 0 As for the USB drive, I don't know what the problem is, but you can add the following to /etc/fstab : /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto 0 0 |

| I made a mistake, the error was "Can't read superblock" It can see it, but refuses to mount it >=O Also, I'll try to do that with the NTFS disk. |
