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
