OK, its something like this,

i want to mount a winPartition on my Debian system, these are the steps that i do...

1- su -
2- mkdir /mnt/win
3- vi /etc/fstab
4- on fstab i put these

/dev/hda6 /mnt/win auto ro,user,noauto 0 0

5- mount /dev/hda6

the partition appears but with this message

" The folder contents could not be displayed.
You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of win".

This is a NTFS partition...

Can you help me??
Thanks!

Sorry my english, i'm Portuguese

Two options:

1. before you mount the partition,

Code: Select all

modprobe ntfs

If this works, you will want to edit /etc/modules and add ntfs to the file.

2. change your fstab by replacing auto with ntfs

add "umask=0555" in the option part of the fstab string corresponding to the ntfs partition. You also better change "auto" to "ntfs" - will work faster.
