Hi list,
I installed FC4 and I'm quite happy about it, but... I'm fighting already for days with my external FW-HD with a NTFS file system (beside several other things which are not solved jet...). After connecting it is recognized and automatically mounted to /media/maxtor. A nice icon appears on the Gnome desktop. But as a user I have no access rights to the folder. As root no problem. First I thought this could be a problem of udev, so I wrote a new udev rule
BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{model}=="OneTouch", SYMLINK="maxtor", MODE="0666"
That works nice, I have now a device called /dev/maxtor, I can mount it as a user but I still have no access to the folder.
The next step was checking the fstab, I found the entry
/dev/sdd1 /media/maxtor ntfs pamconsole,exec,noauto,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,managed 0 0
which is created automatically by fstab-sync. I could not figure out how to setup up fstab-sync to generate an appropriate fstab entry which allows users to access the folders or to change the automatically generated mount points. For example
/dev/hdb1 /windows/e ntfs pamconsole,ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
which works fine for my other static HD
Some suggestions, ideas, hints????
Thanks
Thilo
