I dont have write access to specific NTFS drives[SOLVED]

Postby Srinivasan » Thu Aug 05, 2010 1:36 pm

I used to do the update whenever available. For the past few days i was not able to create/paste/delete/ a file or folder in 3 out of 4 NTFS drives in my laptop. I couldnt even unmount the drives. 1 out of 4 drives has write access.

Previously i used to mount a drive to use, but nowadays its been already mounted. I'm using the latest kernel as per the update but forgot the exact number.

I also recently installed Bitdefender unices, does it change any security settings.

PS: I tried the above processes with root permissions also.

Hi Amir,

I tried nautilus and it works fine in creating file/folder, but when i unmount a partition from nautilus i couldnt mount it back from the "Places" menu. It says the following error

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda6 on /media/NTFSDrive1


Why dont i've write permission in normal browser which i had it few days back.

Also why does all my drives are mounted by default whenever i restart my system. Previously i used to mount manually from "Places" menu.

Hello Srinivasan.

well it is interesting issue Srinivasan.
If you use mount manager ,
and you have unmount the partition - and it is mounted when you start your session.
If you have add your user to have all the permissions on all Groups (just one you will not have permission).
Then it looks to me that the solution will be to add pass to your ROOT user.
Then you can use the ROOT user on the session to mount/unmount the partitions.
OR
Try then with the ROOT user to change the mount option of the partitions with the unmount AUTO.

Actually i was not aware of auto mount settings. While searching for it in google i came across "NTFS Configuration Tool". This application has settings for write support for NTFS drives.

I think one of my friend played with those settings. Now i changed it to normal and everything is fine and i'm able to write in those drives as a normal user.

Thank you very much for your support.
