permission denied, wtf?

i just got done with a fresh install of slack 8, i'm dual booting win2k and slack, anyway i resolved my problems with mounting win2k i can do that just fine now with both root and user, now on the the realy big problem.

I installed codewaevers wine and ran it, it says you need to be a user and not root , so fine, i sign as a user mount the ntfs partition and crank up konqueror to get to my win2k directory and that where this story comes to a skreeching halt.
error: Unable to enter file:/win2k
you do not have access
rights to this location.

my fstab looks like this:
/dev/hda1 /win2k ntfs user,ro 1 0

should there be more? am i missing something?
it's mounted i just cant access it?????

Can you set perimissions on a directory using "chmod" or is that just for files?
i did chmod 711 /win2k. chmod 777 /win2k.

i dont know what else to do.

here's what an entry of mine for Windows looks like:
/dev/hdb5 * * * /mnt/win * * * * * * * *vfat defaults,rw,user,noauto,umask=000 * * * 0 * * *

i changed it and i get the same thing :-/

just another hurdle in getting linux working

my fstab looks like this:
/dev/hda1 */win2k * ntfs * *user,ro * 1 0

Take this 1 and 0 out and see what happens ....

[boblucci]

ok, i 'll try that.

i thought the 1 and 0 was for the fsck order or when it gets fsck'ed, i'll try anything at this point.


<edit>
That didnt work either

That last number determines the fsck priority on bootup. File systems with 0 aren't fscked at all, file systems with 1 are fscked first (recommended for the root fs), and file systems with 2 are fscked simultaneously afterwards. Since Linux doesn't need to be fscking with Windows, you need to make it a 0 or leave it off.

The man page says the second to last is for the dump command, but that may be FreeBSD only. It seems like it's something else in Linux.

As for the permissions, you probably only have read-only NTFS support built into your kernel. If you changed your line to look like GnuVince's, changing the first three columns, everyone should have as much access as the kernel allows.

i created the /win2k directory with root sign on should delete it and try to create it with the user sign on?

Just things i'm think out loud.

i'll also try "chmod 755 /win2k"

[kenshi]

You can't make it as a regular user. Only root can create directories under /. I would try that chmod though. Make sure you have it unmounted when you do. I doubt that will help though.

[traceroute]

chmod -v 777 /win2k
cd /home/boblucci
ln -sf /win2k /home/boblucci/windowz
chmod -v 777 windowz
exit
ls -l windowz
cd windowz
I dunno?

you can do uid=XXX so like:

/dev/hd?? /win2k ntfs uid=500,user,ro 0 0

that makes uid 500 own everything in /win2k.

get your uid but running id
