Hi folks,
I have a problem and I am on the way to become desparate… :’( … starting to hate… and I hope that you can help me out of my misery
so here it goes:
I have an additional internal harddrive, which is formated with NTFS (because of having access with Windows). I want to make regular backups on this drive, using Back in Time. But this is not possible, because there is something weired with the permissions and user stuff.
In the YaST partioning manager I have set it so that I as a normal user can mount it.
I have created a mount point named /media/Backup for the drive and it is entered in the YaST partitioner and also in the /etc/fstab.
When I now do a rightclick on this folder in Dolphin and have a look at the owner of it, I see: root. Group: users.
when I do (as root)
chown steffen:users -R /media/Backup
it tells me: no such file or directory
when I mount the drive, it tells me that it is already mounted. When I unmount it and do the same again
chown steffen:users -R /media/Backup
of course it tells me: no such file or directory.
when i mount it, it mounts it…
When I open Dolphin in administrator mode and do a rightclick on the folder /media/Backup, I can change the owner. But when I close it, and open it again, root is the user again!
this is my /etc/fstab
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST32000641AS_9WM430DV-part3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST32000641AS_9WM430DV-part1 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1

debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
the drive I mean is /dev/sdc1.
I also changed the /etc/fstab already some times, to try to get this to work. But this is the original one, which does not work, as the others too…
I also have created a new mount point for the drive, inside my home directory (hoping that this root-**** ends with that): /home/steffen/Backup.
after putting the mount point into /etc/fstab and a reboot, /home/steffen/Backup is owned by… guess whom… root of course.
So whats wrong here? Can someone please give me the right line to put into /etc/fstab?
I am a bit pi**ed right now because I spent 2 days on that and did not find a hint on google and I have no idea whats going on here… may I am too stupid for the holy grail of Linux users permissions…
thats why sorry, if this post is a bit hard. Would be great if someone of you could help me please.
Thanks!
Steffen
