Howto mount NTFS partitions non-root in Linux
As you might know NTFS partitions are accessible for a running Linux system if the Linux kernel is compiled with NTFS support (or at least supports it via a loadable module).
But if one try to mount a NTFS partition, one has to be aware of the right mount options to have the NTFS partition mounted as a normal user, and maybe also to have write access. (The latter I would not recommend.)
But it took a while to find the right settings for /etc/stab, here is my perfect working version: add a similar line to /etc/fstab and change both the device of the partition and the mount point according your system setup:
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/winXP ntfs ro,noauto,user,umask=022 0 0
This will work for Kernel 2.6.16 and I guess also for earlier 2.6 and 2.4's.
Next hack will be: connect a Samsung D 600 cell phone via USB with a Linux system and transfer files :)
