[Solved] Mounting and Permissions

I've mounted my other hard drive and it's been running perfectly.
My only problem now is being about to edit the files inside that hard drive as they're all owned by root and not my login user.

I've ran chown -R ~/Desktop/Storage dalesalter and it worked with all of the folders but not their contents.

Is there an effective way of making all the files owned by my users, or is there a more effective method?

Here is my fstab file just in case it might have something to do with that.

# <file system>                                 <dir>                                   <type>  <options>                               <dump>  <pass>
tmpfs                                           /tmp                                    tmpfs   nodev,nosuid                            0       0
UUID=01f2ea1e-7166-4081-949b-9df766c80ae9       /                                       ext4    defaults                                0       1
UUID=81478b57-9b58-4d2f-a814-30461720b6e0       /home                                   ext4    defaults                                0       1
UUID=84e46ff4-dd90-483d-a4a3-dda3b48c17de       /boot                                   ext2    defaults                                0       1
UUID=bf2f66e9-fcdc-4698-82b1-05249f2ee999        swap                                   swap    defaults                                0       0
UUID=86C05EF4C05EEA47                           /home/dalesalter/Desktop/Storage        ntfs    auto,exec,rw,users,sync,suid            0       0

Thanks

Re: [Solved] Mounting and Permissions

It's easier to use ntfs-3g:

pacman -S ntfs-3g

See the wiki page
