another fstab question[solved]

Hi All...

I've got a permissions-owner question:

fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

#/dev/cdrom             /media/cd   auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/dvd               /media/dvd  auto    ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/fd0               /media/fl   auto    user,noauto             0      0

UUID="54c9145b-1176-40a6-84bb-505df52a654a" / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID="5561ccbb-a3f9-4420-b548-72b9b436fa03" swap swap defaults,noatime 0 0
UUID="2AEE513FEE51050B" /media/Windows ntfs uid=1000,gid=95,noatime 0 0
UUID="32DCB0F4DCB0B407" /media/Backup  ntfs uid=1000,gid=95,noatime 0 0

The uid=1000 stand for the owner of the ntfs-partitions. The gid stands for the group optical...

However, I kinda feel to only let root get access to these partitions, aside from uid=1000 ( myself ).
I guess I can omit the gid=95 and skip the optical group...I'm the only user of this computer.

How can I be the owner of these partitions and it's contents and give root read and writer access......and nothing else???

Been fiddling around for an hour...

Root has read/write access to everything, so just make yourself the owner and that's enough.

Edit: Oh, and nothing else. Not sure, sorry.

Re: another fstab question[solved]

Just a question, isn't ntfs-3g a better driver than ntfsprogs for read/write?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

As you can see, " Anderen" ( others ) have "read and write" access ( lezen en schrijven ).

My goal is to only let myself ( jochem ) and root have control over my partitions...

Is there a way to achieve this from within fstab???

As I know NTFS doesn't handle accessrights from Linux. so only the user and group which are specified during mount have the rights to access the partition and root of course.

Re: another fstab question[solved]

Add

fmask=0077,dmask=0077

to the mount options in fstab. How it works: everything starts with 777 permissions (rwxrwxrwx) and you specify which permissions to "subtract". So these settings give files (fmask = file mask) the permissions 700 and the same for directories (dmask).

Re: another fstab question[solved]

Funny, it looks like root is denied access here now, after adding above code to fstab.
I did test this ofcourse by ( as root ) creating a directory and copying a file onto the partition ( media/Backup )..

My fstab:

UUID="2AEE513FEE51050B" /media/Windows ntfs uid=1000,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,noatime 0 0
UUID="32DCB0F4DCB0B407" /media/Backup  ntfs uid=1000,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,noatime 0 0

Any light on this? Or just leave it this way??

Re: another fstab question[solved]

You know, instead of screenshots you can post the output of ls -dl /media/{Windows,Backup} .

Re: another fstab question[solved]

Problem solved. ^_______^

See the "drwx------" ? It means only the owner has full priviledges. Everyone else is denied everything. Except root, you can't deny root anything.
