'sudo mount filesystem' without denying user acount access?

[G.I.Josh]

I taught myself how to use the mount command via the man pages, but I have to use sudo to do so. (My user acount obviously doesn't have access.)

I mounted my ntfs filesystem to /home/*username*/data using sudo, but it's denying my user acount access to that folder, which it previously did have access too, with the mounted filesystem.

How can I mount the filesystem without denying my user acount access to it? Or at least, how can I give my user acount access to it? Thank you.

Check youe /etc/fstab you might need to add 'user' to the line about the partition;

If you want you can post the fstab here;

This will give you rw access to this specific drive.
Note that you cannot Write to an NTFS drive since ntfs write isnt supported yet. (still experimental)
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_main <filesystem> rw,umask=0 0 0

Thanks. I have another question though. I pecked in 'sudo vim /etc/fstab' and it still told me it was read only, and /dev/hda1 wasn't listed at all? Why?

And thanks again for the help.

well for hd1 not been in there simply meens it doest mount it a boot... fairly self explanatory :P

As for the read only, I rarely use sudo.... I usually change permission and then reput the old permission... saves me headache

I'm not sure what dev the partition is you are trying to mount, if it is /dev/hda1 just add it to /eyc/fstab like Ugo said but changing rw to ro since I do not recomend writing to ntfs, if it isn't /dev/hda1 just add whatever dev/hda* it is to the fstab.

You might have to mount it with:

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /home/*username*/data
