[SOLVED] [fstab] Automount makes the drive's owner root
So today I decided to make my fstab mount my Seagate Expansion Drive everytime I boot my PC, but I had an issue doing so. Everytime I mount it, the owner is root. No matter what. I also tried chown-ing it but it wouldn't work.
When it isn't mounted I can chown it, but when I mount it it goes back to root.

Yep, the FS is NTFS.

Re: [SOLVED] [fstab] Automount makes the drive's owner root
Are you using ntfs-3g? Have you read the wiki page:

Re: [SOLVED] [fstab] Automount makes the drive's owner root
I applied the gid and uid values. This is what it looks like:
UUID=01D26B7DE6DD1BE0 /mnt/Seagate ntfs user,nosuid,nodev,nofail,uid=1000,gid=10,umask=0022,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-name=Seagate%20Expansion 0 0I can now manually claim ownership, but everytime I remount it, the ownership goes back to root. I can also not change the group permissions.

ntfs != ntfs-3g
The built in kernel ntfs driver is extremely limited.

So, turns out I just needed to change the "ntfs" in my fstab to ntfs-3g and reboot. Now it's perfect.
