Mounting and permissions

I just mounted my ntfs windows partition, from root I can access it fine, how do i set permissions to it so that my user account can access it? ~ thanks

Use the uid, guid and/or mask mount options. E.g. something like the following, which I used on a dualbooting pc:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win2k vfat gid=100,umask=007,noatime 0 0

In this case, gid 100 is the group "users", umask 007 means read, write and execute permissions for root and all users in group "users", and none for everyone else.

How do i find out a list of the groups, and the group that my account is in?

list of groups: cat /etc/group

groups you are in: groups

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win2k vfat gid=100,umask=007,noatime 0 0

what i think i should be doing:

mount -t ntfs /...../part2 /windows/F/ gid=6

... i dont know what the other parts are
6 is the "disc" group, which i really dont know what it does... so im shooting in the dark here. Thanks for the help

/etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions lists all the groups allowed to each device.
