Hi All, I have a dual boot WXP/FC4 home system. I have recompiled the kernel to allow for mounting of NTFS (read only). Because I still require XP for work, I would like to have access to that partition while in FC as a normal user. I have noticed that the directory modes change as follows: If device is unmounted the modes are this: [root@hp ~]# ls -ld /dos drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 13 03:38 /dos [root@hp ~]# If I mount my ntfs device, I get this: [root@hp ~]# mount /dos [root@hp ~]# ls -ld /dos dr-x------ 1 root root 20480 Jan 12 04:54 /dos [root@hp ~]# The relevant entry in the /etc/fstab: /dev/hda2 /dos ntfs defaults 0 0 [root@hp ~]# Why do the modes change? Is there a way for a normal user to have access? If so how? Thank you in advance, Phil
