GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 335903
NTFS mount right wrong
Last modified: 2006-03-31 20:08:23 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I pugged an pendrive with FAT filesystem and mount it up with gnome-volume-manager, it works good, i can read, i can write. BUT! When I plugged in a HDD with NTFS filesystem in USB rack and mount it up, the nautilus say "You have no rigths to read this directory". I looked the owner list in the /media and i see my pendriver owned by my user who mounted this, but my hdd owner is root and i don't know why, cause i mounted it with an user account. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Everytime Other information: I have Gentoo 2006.0 with 2.6.16 kernel
I have the same issue in gentoo
I have no idea... we pass uid=<user's uid> as a mount option for all fs's that support it.
I'm also having this problem on gentoo with my NTFS removable disk drive

does installing gnome-mount fix it? if you install gnome-mount, g-v-m just calls gnome-mount in the FS instead of doing the logic itself. The future lies with gnome-mount anyway, as soon as gnome-mount is on every system, I'm removing the duplicate dlogic inside g-v-m if the problem persists, thenfollow it up with the gnome-mount maintainer I guess (he's also the HAL maintainer so would probably be more helpful than I can be about this)
I re-installed gnome-mount and the problem remains. Thanks for the pointer anyway
