I'm not much familier with linux environment so please explain me how to do that for normal user.
I am using fedora 12.I have two internal drives. Both are ntfs. Whenever i click on them it prompts to enter root password. But i want to mount them as normal user without entering any root password. How can i disable it so that i am not asked to enter root password everytime i mount the drives.

Running Ubuntu 10.04 I noticed my hard disc rumbling for longer than normal and louder. Not doing anything demanding to cause hard disk activity like this so I was suspicious so I checked my process list with 'top' command in the console terminal. At the top was mount.ntfs running. Eventually it stopped running after 20 seconds or so. At the time I have not been accessing NTFS filesystems, but I do have them. I have a dual boot Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. In Ubuntu I've mounted the Windows main C drive and on the same hard disk a partitioned drive for sharing files between the OSs. I know mount.ntfs is a standard program but was it being run on my machine, instigated externally here? Was the running of mount.ntfs an attempt from outside to hack into Ubuntu and the mounted Windows areas of my machine via a backdoor connection or vulnerability? I've restarted my machine since then. Are there any logs I can check for malicious attempts to break in?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two NTFS volumes I want to automount at boot. I can't get my user account to mount them in Fedora 10. I keep getting the message that the two lines I have edited in fstab are bad. The volumes are sda2 and sda8, and the volume names are SPACELAB and Spaceman. I also need to be able to mount an NTFS usb drive from time to time. I am getting frustrated, so I have posted my fstab file below,

I just want to be able to access and modify the files on my usb drive as a normal user. The mount command works perfectly as root but then the files that I end up copying to my home folder can only be modified as root. I only use a window manager and use just bash for file management. I just want to be able to it through the command line.

I can mount it but it just allows me to access with the root user. How can I do it to get access with any user?
Additional Data: I added "rw,user,allow_other,default_permissions" because I thought that would solve de problem but it didn't.
I want to simply mount an ext4 file-system onto a normal mount point in Ubuntu (/media/whereever), as read-writable for the current logged-in user, i.e. me.
I don't want to add anything into /etc/fstab, I just want to do it now, manually. I need super-user privileges to mount a device, but then only root can read-write that mount. I've tried various of the mount options, added it into fstab, but with no luck.
I have a ntfs-partition that I will use for documents for me and another user. I works fine for me.
The partition is mounted and I can read/write.
However, for the other user the partition is not showing up. What to do?
I've tried changing the permissions from nautilus, but no success.
I have an ntfs external hd; I can mount and use it fine, without entry in fstab, but not share stuff. That is to say: I can use nautilus / thunar to share folders on it without errors, but they are not accessible via the network. The issue may be that the mount point has permissions 700. I can solve that by Code:sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/Databank -o umask=0,nls=utf8or by setting umask=022 in fstab, but then I can't mount it as user anymore; if I set fstab to

Is there a way to allow ordinary users to mount / unmount an ntfs partition?I don't want it to be mounted automatically - I can do that. I want it to be mount / unmountable by ordinary users (possibly in a particular group).
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan mount.ntfs and mount.ntfs-3g reside simultaneously?
Whilst accessing an external NTFS drive mount.ntfs takes up a lot of CPU. I am not sure if its mounting the drive using mount.ntfs or mount.ntfs-3g? How do I find out and if they coexist how do I make the default mount drive ntfs-3g?
Everything was working great with my FC12 box. I think the Fedora Gods must be punishing me as I had recently downloaded an image for another distro, but was only trying to install it to usb and play with it on another computer!
Then I tried to boot and I got an error message:

Boot has failed, sleeping forever. I obviously don't understand the boot process well enough to fix this problem, so I'll describe what happens in more detail. (Feel free to correct my terminology so I can communicate in a more concise manner next time!)
1) Bootloader comes up fine and I'm able to select my kernel. (This problem affects all kernels)
2) Then as usual a whole bunch of text goes flying across the screen identifying hardware.
3) During this hardware identification, at the point where all my disks are being identified sd 1, sd 2, sd 6... I get the error shortly/immediately after this.
I cant tell for certain if its immediate because so many mount messages are spewed and I am not sure how to 1) pause the screen or 2) scroll the screen or 3) output this information to a file. But it does sit long enough on the disk identification which is right before the mount errors. I was able to look at a previous dmesg and noticed that dracut comes right after the disk identification, so I think the mount errors are being generated in dracut. (Now whether dracut is the problem or not is another issue) I am able to boot using a rescue usb and mount my LVM manually and then browse the root filesystem, so at least my data seems to be safe!

Sound actually works OK now for me as a normal user. Here's how I fixed the problem.
First I uninstalled pulseaudio with:# yum remove pulseaudio Then reboot back to the hardware. You might want to keep pulseaudio, but I have no need for it. PA wasn't running on my system anyway.
Running X as root user, I did the following: As a test I opened a root shell and typed the following:
[root]# alsamixer c0 That started the alsamixer OK, and all the controls were accessible.

Problem is that I can't burn disk using nero linux as normal user. If I try to do so, it tries to create a .nrg image in the drive rather than burning those files in the disk. But if i run nero as super user then it works okay. If I run it as normal itan't even recognize my burner

However at the same time a mouse or a keypad may/could have a usb connection. note that root should be able to use the usb storage devices. How can the same be done on fedora 12? I would prefer not to do it via the BIOS options.
