universal rw access for all users on any mounted ntfs

Ferrenrock · 2013-10-23 15:17:50

So I've added flash drives I commonly use to my fstab and installed ntfs3g-fuse in order to get universal read/write access, but I frequently am either lent other flash drives or I have a friend show up with their flash drive and obviously neither of those are listed in the fstab. Is there some sort of line I can add to it to give any ntfs drive mounted rw,users?

The only help of this sort I can find online is if you already know which volume is to be added, in this case I don't.

If you mount these drives by hand, you can use whatever mount options you want.

I know, that's what I currently do for the ones I don't regularly use. It's just a pain, and I want to automate it. Isn't there a way to do that? Even if it's just a shell script...

Why is it a pain?
What script / bash function do you currently use? Post it.

I have a group of people that comes over on saturday nights and we pick movies out of a hat...as in, each person brings a flash drive with a movie on it and puts it in a hat. We then draw one flash drive out of the hat, we all take a shot, I use a video game controller as a mouse to start up the movie because I have the keyboard/mouse and the minidesk it's on put away when I am having a party, especially when alcohol/food is out. I don't wanna get the keyboard back out and take a longer amount of time to do this....

I can't really have everyone switch to FAT because most movie files are too big. I could have all mac users switch to hfs+ but probably half the people don't use linux or mac or some nix-based system.

NTFS is 20 years old, I figured someone might have done something to automate this by now beyond awkwardly typing in console commands
