Normal users accessing mounted NTFS disks? (Music related)

gizmo · 2006-03-07 18:24:22

I havent yet fully converted to linux, so all my music and other stuff is on NTFS partitions.
My NTFS partitions are listed in fstab with the "defaults" options, only root have access to them now, however I want to play my music as a normal user.
How do I enable normal users, or preferably only one user, to access these partitions?

semi-newbie :?

change defaults to umask=022

preferently only one user? replace defaults with uid=1000 for example to give the user with UID 1000 the permissions root usually has. Your UID can be found in /etc/passwd

I usualy mount with both suggestion above, actually i need full read acess to all users logged in the machine so i do

umask=022,uid=1000,gid=102

BTW u don't need to read /etc/passwd to know ur uid/gid, instead use the command

id
