    Giving rights to users to mount ntfs



    Code:
    /dev/hda1       /media/windows  ntfs    ro,defaults,users,group,umask=0222 0       0
    I would also be willing to give specific users axx, such as UID 1000.....when I try axx the hda1, it states I do not have the rights.

    You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "windows".
    Code:
    /dev/hda1       /media/windows  ntfs    ro, defaults,user,GID=1000,umask=0222 0       0

    Thanks, but it seems to still be a problem. Do I have to reload the fstab?
