I'm using fedora 9 64-bit edition. I've two partitions, FAT32 and NTFS. I added the following two lines to my /etc/fstab to enable mounting the two drives from the command line:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/fat auto noauto,users
/dev/sda6 /mnt/drvE auto noauto,usersThe /dev/sdb1 represents the FAT32 partition, while /dev/sda6 represents the NTFS one. The two lines are identical(except for the device name and mount point of each).
I tried to mount the FAT32 partition as a normal(non-root) user, and it mounted perfectly.
Now when I issue the command:
mount /mnt/drvE
as a normal user(non-root), mount doesn't produce any error. However when I test the list of mounted filesystems using the mount command without any parameters, I don't get my drive(/dev/sda6) in the mount list. Needless to say, the mount point directory is empty after mounting(since obviously no drive was mounted). Note that I can mount the NTFS partition pretty well as root, so there's no error with the partition or the NTFS driver.
So I think the problem now is related to something about the ntfs driver(or something dependent) requiring root privileges(or some elevated privileges) to mount ntfs folders. I knew that at some time, ntfs depended on fuse, and that there was/were a specific user and/or group that was/were related to fuse. There was some procedure to be a member of that group to grant access to fuse(and hence ntfs driver).
Does anyone have some information about a proposed solution or workaround?
