How to mount ntfs if I want the one user to have read-write access but other users have read only acess

Editing /etc/fstab file for auto mounting NTFS partition for read/write access is possible but you can't apply Linux partitions on it by trying to limit other users on from accessing it:

Such as:


sudo chown -R username:username /media/NTFS_Partition
sudo chmod -R 700 /media/NTFS_Partition

Commands above cannot be applied on NTFS partitions.

I want is that only root have read-write access and other users have read access only. Any help?

But placing Umask would probably solve that issue. Try:


sudo mount -t ntfs -o ro,noauto,umask=022 /dev/xxx /media/mount_point

Change xxx with the drive/partition device name. Also, change /media/mount_point with the mount point you created for that partition.

I limit other users to read only via selection in system administration users and groups users settings manage groups.

Hope this helps.

sudo mount -t ntfs -o ro,noauto,umask=022 /dev/xxx /media/mount_point

Is 'ro' option appropriate above? umask=022 means read access to others and full access to root right? Also, I think its better to use ntfs-3g.

I can't check and confirm as I don't have windoz... :)
