mount ntfs without root

[raphi078]

hello

i want to mount a ntfs-partition as user.

I want in visudo a entry which make this:

sudo mount /mnt/winxp

without asking password. Is this possible?

set ntfs-3g to setuid root don't work.

any ideas?
thanks

Adding the partition to your /etc/fstab file with the user option would allow users to mount it. For more information see the fstab man page

you can found a very good example here:
don't forget to make changes according to your own system.

thank you, but this don't work.

in /etc/fstab is:

    # Windows-Disks
    /dev/sda1 /mnt/winXP  ntfs-3g defaults,user 0 1

if I try as user (not root)

mount /mnt/winXP

there is this failure:

raphael@dracona:~$ mount /mnt/winXP/
Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE
library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated
FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at
http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged

in the website of ntfs-3g is: Solution: Use at least NTFS-3G 1.2506 with setuid-root set and make sure the user has access rights to the volume and mount point.

but: my ntfs-3g version is: 2009.2.1 and set this with setuid say this:

raphael@dracona:~$ mount /mnt/winXP/
Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the
external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary
or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.
Please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged

hmm, it seems to be more difficult...

any other idea?

You and I seem to be having the exact same problem... Link

If you have sudo privileges, you should be able to mount this without the setuid bit. As the error message shows in raphi078's posting, you can fix that by rebuilding the ntfs-3g driver and mounter with FUSE support.
