English Hardware
1

Hi i am new to linux and i need some help work with my hard drives. I am currently using linux 11.1 and i want to mount my hard disks. My default account cant use the hard disks and i think its a permission problem

What i have tried so far
A)Created 2 folders under /media/ folder
B)chown apalaios /media/documents/
chown apalaios /media/windows/
So my default account has access to them
C)Tried to mount /dev/sda1 but i received the message
mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows/
mount: only root can do that
D) Checked permissions of /dev/sda1
ls -l /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 2009-01-10 12:39 /dev/sda1
E) I opened yast control center and i checked that my default account belongs to disk group!! So why i cant mount the device?
F) Can u help me with the fstab entries for ntfs and fat 32 drives (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2) accordingly

Use

YaST -> System -> Partitioner

to set up mounting of these additional disk partitions. It will create the necessary fstab entries for you. If you need further help, post output of

cat /etc/fstab

You need to add the ‘user’ option in fstab. E.g.:
/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g user,noauto 0 0
