Hi,
I'm new ish to Ubuntu & linux and I've just moved my home folder on to an NTFS drive that is also accessed by windows. I am now struggling to take ownership of the drive. I've read that if I add uid=1000 to the options in /etc/fstab that should make me owner, but I've done this, and run sudo mount -a, and rebooted but root remains the owning user and group of everything on the partition. I have checked that I am user 1000 (by running id).
my latest set of options is
ntfs-3g rw,user,auto,fmask=0177,dmask=0077,uid=1000
Can anyone help me please!?
