Hello!

I created a "guest" user in my Mint and I don't like them to access my "Storage" & "Storage (B)".

May I please ask how to do it using chmod. I tried to play around with it but it still automatically mounts in guest user environment.

Thank you!

Methinks you should set owner in fstab. man fstab and man mount will help.

[devils casper]

What is the filesystem of Storage and Storage B partitions?

[Kloschüssel]

As segfault suggested, provide fstab with the necessary information such that it mounts your stuff with a valid guid that matches a group that should be able to read/write stuff on that storage. Then set chmod o-rwx and nobody other than the specified group will be able to access it.

All this can be done with:

* addgrp
* chmod
* /etc/fstab

Happy bashing.

[nujinini]

Thank you all!

"Storage" is ntfs

"Storage (B)" is ext4

Yes, fstab also passed my mind. However, I also wanted to hear some other ideas if there are still other ways aside from editing fstab in the "guest" account.

[Kloschüssel]

Oh, yes .. and the users that should access that stuff must be added to the group.

check if user already has group:

id user

add user to group:

usermod -a -G group user

finally check if everything is as it should:

id user
