[SOLVED]trying to mount disk so all users can read write

I'm trying to mount my hard drive to /mnt/2TB automatically at startup.  My /etc/fstab looks like this...
/dev/sda2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/2TB ntfs auto,exec,rw,users,uid=1000 0 0
ls / shows...
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Jun 30 20:09 mnt
ls /mnt shows...
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jun 20 21:21 2TB
When I restart the disk mounts fine but I cannot write anything to disk.  I want to mount this disk so that anyone can read, write, and execute on it.  I specified these options in my fstab.  What options am I missing?
EDIT:
I figured it out.  I had to install ntfs-3g.  Once I did that I changed my fstab to this...
/dev/sda2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/2TB ntfs-3g defaults,uid=1000 0 0
Then I changed /mnt permissions to ...
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 30 20:09 mnt
Then I changed /mnt/2TB permissions to...
drwxrwxrwx 1 necbot users 4096 Jun 20 21:21 2TB
Works great!

I ran across this in the ntfs-3g manual which might be of some interest. It appears that adding "permissions" to the mount options for ntfs-3g might accomplish roughly what you want, but you may have to perform some work to get it operational. Likewise, the Windows ACL may interfere and a quick glance seems to me to suggest that you might have to tweak things from Windows to get the permissions working well.
I personally have all of my Windows partitions mounted under /windows, but I can see why that isn't an ideal solution if you're dabbling in Arch or have things you want to more easily share in one direction.
Hope this helps somewhat even though you've already marked the topic as solved.

  • Wiki "Read Only" users can read & write

    I am looking to use the built in Wiki software on our Snow Leopard mac mini server. The wiki is meant to be private with one user able to read and write and another account that can read only. After selecting "read only" the user can still read & write. The read only account is not an administrator so I am not sure why they are not read only, could someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that users with read only permissions can't see custom Master Page and Managed Metadata Navigation SharePoint 2013.
    I suggest to customize the ClientObject model code to retrieve info with elevated privileges and then re-deployed the master page.
    Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bd7aa817-114a-46ae-a08a-71d903227ce0/sharepoint-2010-custom-master-page-and-read-only-permission-issue?forum=sharepointadminprevious
    If it doesn’t work, please check more information about the custom Master Page, such as whether it contain content like web parts that with permission limited, or whether you have any changes
    to the read permission group.
    In addition, please check the SharePoint ULS log to find more information, , the ULS log file is in the location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

  • I'm trying to share folder between users on a single mac.  I put the folder in "shared," set permissions so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account.  Any help?

    I'm trying to share a folder between users on a single mac.  I want both users to be able to read and write so the folder stays current on both accounts.  I put the folder in "shared," set permissions on folder so other user can read and write, enabled file sharing, but can't find the folder on the second user's account.  Any help?

    Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
    Is the permissions set to anyone?
    When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
    If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
    You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

  • Javascript: Query all users with read permission to specific list

    Is it possible to use javascript to retrieve all users with read permissions to specific list? This (http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/anavijai/how-to-get-all-the-users-from-site-group-in-sharepoint-2013/) shows how to get users from group but what
    about list. All users in list may not exist in spgoups.

    Hi,
    If with Server Object Model which is executed in server side, in the
    SPList object, there is a
    RoleAssignments property can help to get what you want without looping through all the users in site:
    public static void getPermissionsOfList()
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sp"))
    using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
    SPList list = web.GetList("/Lists/List1");
    SPRoleAssignmentCollection roles = list.RoleAssignments;
    foreach (SPRoleAssignment role in roles)
    Console.WriteLine("~");
    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + role.Member.Name);
    SPRoleDefinitionBindingCollection bindings = role.RoleDefinitionBindings;
    XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
    doc.LoadXml(bindings.Xml);
    //Console.WriteLine(doc.InnerXml);
    XmlNodeList itemList = doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("Role");
    foreach (XmlNode currNode in itemList)
    string s = currNode.Attributes["Name"].Value.ToString();
    Console.WriteLine("Permission Level: " + s);
    However, when comes to JavaScript Client Object Model, as there is no such property provided, I suggest you take the solution provided in my previous post for a try.

  • Determine if All Users Have Read Company Newsletter

    I am trying to determine if every mailbox user has *READ* a certain email.  In this particular use-case it is the company newsletter being sent from MailChimp.
    I have tried getting the results of Get-MessageTrackingLog to display the status, e.g. whether it is READ or not.  I am able to get the information I need one recipient at a time using the Delivery Reports in OWA but that is very labor intensive.  
    Since Exchange knows the status of the message and the physical location of the message via Delivery Reports, how/what can I do to include those elements in the output of my Shell command(s)?!

    Hi,
    We can use the following commands to get the read status.
    $msg = Search-MessageTrackingReport -Identity "the specified mailbox" -Subject 'the subject' -BypassDelegateChecking
    $msg | %{ Get-MessageTrackingReport -Identity $_.MessageTrackingReportId -BypassDelegateChecking -RecipientPathFilter "smtp address of recipient" -ReportTemplate RecipientPath }
    The Identity parameter specifies the name of the mailbox for whom the message tracking report is being searched. The message tracking report only contains the tracking events related to the specified mailbox.
    Here is a related article for your reference.

  • Every user can read any file while ACL mass change in progress

    Hi!
    We're having some strange things happening here. Maybe someone can help us what exactly is/was going on here.
    1. We have to add an additional user in the NTFS ACL list for all file shares in our company (about XXXTB)
    2. We're using Windows Explorer to accomplish that.
    3. Every user can read in directories he/she has NO ACCESS RIGHTS to while the changes are being applied.
    4. Files are also readable but at least still not writeable.
    5. Affected folders and files change over time.
    Has someone experienced the same issue? Does the Windows Explorer reset the ACL lists before changing them? Is there some weird caching going on?

    I unfortunately can't send you a screenshot as this would be a violation of our company rules.
    I can however ensure you that we never have any normal user or group besides the very guarded admin group that has read permissions in all folders. I'm also sure that the colleague was only adding the additional account for the indexing service and did that
    by adding the permission via the properties tab in Windows Explorer. I restate that this is a very large data dir with about 6 Terrabytes of data the change was made to. The rest of our data was safe.
    We guard our rights very closely as any unauthorized access that isn't fixed within minutes will cause a security incident that has to be documented by our department chief. As such was the case here.
    As we've got no answer here yet, I can conclude that this is not a very common problem.

  • How do I allow users to create folders in a shared folder where we all then have read/write access to those new folders?

    I have three users who need to access a particular folder on one of our other Macs. The folder resides on the desktop of that particular Mac and it is set as "shared" with all of our accounts set to access the folder. When a user creates a new subfolder in that shared folder, the permissions are instantly set to allow the creator read/write access but the other users are only allowed read-only access. Is there a way to set the permissions so that any new folder created in that shared folder automatically gives read/write access to all accounts who are authorized access to that shared folder?

    You should be able to take the permissions you have set and "apply to enclosed items." I am trying to attach a picture of what this looks like so my apologies if it does not work.
    Highlight your folder you want and go to File>Get Info or command+I and at the bottom where it has Sharing and Permissions, click the lock button to authenticate. Click the gear and click "apply to enclosed items". See if that works.

  • All users can't access library

    I have a Windows XP Home computer with two user accounts: administrator and limited. When I log in to the pc as admin and open iTunes I can see all the songs in the library, yet when I log in to the limited account and open iTunes I see nothing. It's completely empty. The iTunes Music folder is in C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTING\ALL USERS\SHARED DOCUMENTS\SHARED MUSIC, and in iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced I have that path set as the iTunes music folder location for both the admin account and the limited account. Any ideas what I need to do to get the limited account to have access to the iTunes library?

    Hi,
    Normally we use feedback as an explanation by an approver to the previous approver about his action on the doc( reject/approve).
    I think you want ur users to view the doc and then give suggestions to make it better and these comments should be approved and then made visible.
    I replied on one such thread earlier too.

  • Mounting UDF formatted DVD+RW in read-write mode

    Hi folks,
    I'm having trouble getting Leopard to mount a freshly formatted UDF DVD+RW in read-write mode. It always seems to come up mounted read-only regardless of the options I give mount or mount_udf. I've tried default and 2.5 versions of UDF, specifying fix-packet when creating the volume, specifying -w on mount_udf, specifying -o w on mount, etc.
    The disc seems to be created okay, and shows free space..Just can't figure out how to use it. Any thoughts/working recipes? Example transcript follows..
    Thanks in advance,
    - Zanthrox
    scutter:~ doucej$ newfs_udf -v "Backup" /dev/disk1
    write to block device: /dev/disk1 last written block address: 2295103
    scutter:~ doucej$ mkdir /Volumes/Backup
    scutter:~ doucej$ sudo mount_udf -w /dev/disk1 /Volumes/Backup
    scutter:~ doucej$ df
    Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
    /dev/disk0s2 454819840 320448088 133859752 71% /
    devfs 213 213 0 100% /dev
    fdesc 2 2 0 100% /dev
    map -hosts 0 0 0 100% /net
    map auto_home 0 0 0 100% /home

    /dev/disk1 9178360 572 9177788 1% /Volumes/Backup
    Looks good so far -- the volume was created fine, is readable, mountable, and shows free space..
    scutter:~ doucej$ mount
    /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
    fdesc on /dev (fdesc, union)
    map -hosts on /net (autofs, automounted)
    map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted)
    /dev/disk0s3 on /Volumes/Untitled (ntfs, local, read-only, noowners)
    /dev/disk1 on /Volumes/Backup (udf, local, read-only)
    scutter:~ doucej$
    ....but it still won't come up read-write, so I can't actually use it.

    If LVM has dropped write permissions on a volume or group then its probably for a good reason. You might want to look at the root cause for the failure and check /var/log/messages for any information.
    If you don't care about the data, you might be able to to bring back write access using
    <pre>
    lvchange --ignorelockingfailure -p w VolGroup00-LogVol14
    </pre>
    But like I said, there is probably a good reason why the volume is write protected in order to prevent further damage, or because of a underlying hardware issue.
