ntfs mount permissions 1

[MrTom]

when i mount my ntfs partition it changes the permissions to read only access for root only.
is there any way to make the mount world readable?

thanx!

Hi,





You have to tell 'mount' which (non-root) userid and groupid to use as options to the mount command :





mount /dev/hdc5 -t nfts -o uid=user1,gid=group1,ro /mnt/wherever





You can also use the umask option if you wish :





-o uid=user1,gid=group1,umask=027,ro





Hope this helps
