[Solved] How to mount NTFS partitions?

Post by Erased » Tue Dec 20, 2016 3:11 am

I can just right click a partition and press Mount. But how do I do that in terminal?

I tried
sudo mkdir /media/zoran/Data
sudo mount -t auto -v /dev/sda6 /media/zoran/Data
but when I do this I have to enter a password when unmounting because it says the partition was mounted by another user, so I assume this is not the correct way.
What command should I be using instead?

I’m searching for this because I want to set it to run on startup.

this part is correct—good.
If you want this to mount automatically at startup then you have to make an entry for it in etc/fstab.
Not really hard to do.
In a terminal run:

that will show the mounted partitions with their respective UUID designations.
Here is an example entry in etc/fstab for a partition on my second hard drive:
UUID=9f665aa7-1724-42f5-8209-15011de9080e /media/uno/archival ext4 defaults,noatime 0 2
The UUID is what you get from sudo blkid—after that you will see the mount point (mine is: /media/uno/archival) , then the file system type, the rest is fairly standard.
After entering this line in etc/fstab run:

this will verify your syntax that you just added to fstab—if it returns no errors you will be good to go. Reboot and the partition should be mounted

I will refer you to this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=46&t=154670#p802950
where I was tutored in this matter.
Best of luck your way and Merry Christmas

Cool, let me just run this by you.

/dev/sda4: LABEL="TI10664800H" UUID="BA26CF4D26CF08F9" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="c204b4eb-1a72-11e3-bafb-ceadba28250e" /dev/sda6: LABEL="Data" UUID="72AC4FFFAC4FBBFB" TYPE="ntfs" PARTLABEL="Basic data partition" PARTUUID="d190fc94-f80c-4b9e-615a-24cc8c223e0a"

# Windows partition on /dev/sda4 UUID=BA26CF4D26CF08F9 /media/zoran/TI10664800H ntfs defaults 0 2 # Common data partition on /dev/sda6 UUID=72AC4FFFAC4FBBFB /media/zoran/Data ntfs defaults 0 2

Since these are ntfs partitions, some other options will be helpful especially with permissions

Also if zoran is the user name then don’t create the mountpoints there, use /media/TI10664800H and /media/Data instead.

These are the entries you can use:

UUID=BA26CF4D26CF08F9 /media/TI10664800H ntfs-3g noatime,user,nls=utf8,windows_names,dmask=002,fmask=111,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 UUID=72AC4FFFAC4FBBFB /media/Data ntfs-3g noatime,user,nls=utf8,windows_names,dmask=002,fmask=111,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 

Since ntfs partitions don’t store file mode bits and owner/groups etc. it has to be globally set with the fstab options. You can check man ntfs-3g for more information about this.

I use /mnt instead of /media
And after coding some stuff I realized I cannot run my apps anymore, since the source&project files (shared by win & linux) are all on the data partition.
I tried setting the options nouser,exec but that didn’t help, so I did umask=000
Is this ok?

If you mean the ntfs-3g umask fstab mount option then it will only affect the files on the windows partition so it’s fine.

A few more questions..
Now that I’m mounting the windows partition how should I prevent access to specific system folders?
At least how should I prevent it without root?

Re: [Solved] How to mount NTFS partitions?

When mounting an ntfs partition, all folder options are controlled with dmask.

You can’t set individual folder permissions like you can on linux partition because there is no such permissions on an ntfs partition.

If you set dmask=077 then only the user will be able to access the folders.

Re: [Solved] How to mount NTFS partitions?

Post by Erased » Sun Dec 25, 2016 6:26 am

I guess I’ll just use umask=177 for now
It’s annoying that ntfs-3g driver doesn’t have a separate option for windows system files.

BTW why would you normally use different permissions for files and directories? I don’t see a reason for this.

Note to self: this is what the mask means http://askubuntu.com/a/429858

umask isn’t that hard to understand and it would appear that you are using it incorrectly.

All files and folders in an NTFS partition are born with permissions of 777. Read, Write, and execute to everyone and your Aunt Agnes. Umask represents the permissions that you want to remove .

So a umask of 000 removes nothing. A umask of 077 removes everthing from groups and others:

777 — Starting permissions
077 — umask value
===
700 — Resulting permissions. The ability of the owner to Read ( Octal value of 4 ), Write ( 2 ), and Execute ( 1 ). 4+2+1=7. But no access ( 0 ) to anyone else.

A umask of 177 doesn’t do what you want since the result will be:

777
177
===
600 — You will not be able to traverse the folder to read or write to it.

BTW why would you normally use different permissions for files and directories? I don’t see a reason for this.

Folders have to have the execute bit enabled or you will not be able to traverse them. A umask is indiscriminate and applies itself to both files and folders. You may not want all your files to be executable but you do want your folders to be so umask was split into a mask for files ( fmask ) and a mask for directories ( dmask ).

Please add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.

Добрый день!
Столкнулся с проблемой отсутствия возможности записи на NTFS. Вернее записать файл можно, но только из под root и через Double-Commander или MC, ну или через терминал. Dolphin отказывается даже из под root.
У меня 2 системы — Linux и Win7 и общий раздел с медиа.
ОС Linux mint KDE 18.1 64bit
Хелп!
