Hello fellow arch users!
Yesterday I set up my Arch system and I am pretty happy about it.
The biggest problem I am currently facing is getting access to my other two hard drives.
I first added two lines for the two drives inside my /etc/fstab and I think I got them right.
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# UUID=f0f92cb5-6bd6-4d0a-a4e5-2be735592f5d
/dev/sda2 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# UUID=4657766b-fa32-4281-b607-dbe0065d6a7a
/dev/sda1 /boot ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
# UUID=344da4df-81e1-4e03-be16-f966b002d0db
/dev/sda3 /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 2
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 ntfs rw,users 0 0 #2nd hdd
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 ntfs rw,users 0 0 #3rd hdd
Although you can see that the option "users" is in the fstab, when I run "mount" to see how the fs are mounted, the users option is not applied (or is it not stated).
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/sdc1 type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1)
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/sdb1 type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=0,gid=0,fmask=0177,dmask=077,nls=utf8,errors=continue,mft_zone_multiplier=1)

I researched a lot about this problem, since I didn't want to do an unnecessary thread.
On my research I found this (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=144801) thread, and I think the OP is facing the same problem, but I just don't understand most of what these guys are talking about.
I am using Openbox without a DE and without a DM. Plain Openbox.
My .xinitrc:
#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session openbox
I hope I provided the information you need, although I think I forgot something. I will be providing the missing things as quick as possible after you replied which are needed.
Thanks in advance,
phyle

What exactly do you mean you can't access the mounted drives?
Have you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ntfs ?

You need ntfs-3g. Install the package and adjust your partition types in your fstab

What do you think the users option does? Have you tried unmounting the filesystem as a non-root user? Did it work?
