Access Rights

I can't enter my hdb mountpoint because my user apparently doesn't have the access rights to do so. When I try as root it of course allows me. So how do I give myself access rights to view the drive?

how are you trying to change the permissions ? i would have though you'd be best to edit fstab

[ot]BTW: hows mandy[/ot]

 

Please do this:

Code:

ls -lah /mnt/

...and post the results here. Also, the contents of your /etc/fstab file would be useful as well.

Thanks,
-AT

 

Code:

[landon@localhost ~]$ ls -lah /mnt/
total 18K
drwxr-xr-x   6 root root 4.0K Sep 20 15:39 ./
drwxr-xr-x  19 root root 4.0K Sep 24 12:58 ../
dr-xr-xr-x   1 root root 2.0K Dec 20  1999 cdrom/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4.0K Sep 20 15:09 cdrom2/
drwxrwxrwx   0 root root    0 Sep 24 12:58 floppy/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 4.0K Sep 20 15:39 hdb/

 

OK, thanks. Now please post the contents of your fstab:

Code:

cat /etc/fstab

 

Code:

[landon@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb/ ntfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0

The drive isn't plugged in right now im just doing some data transfer/backup, so if somethings missing thats why.

 

Code:

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb/ ntfs [B]defaults[/B] 0 0

The setting is defaults and this will not allow regular users to access.

Code:

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb ntfs [B]rw,users[/B] 0  0

should work but I am not familiar with ntfs mount options in mandriva.
