Subject: [Hampshire] fstab question
I wonder if anyone could help me, as it's not clear to me from the man
page what I've got wrong.

I have this line in /etc/fstab:-

/dev/hdb1  /windows/e  ntfs  ro,users    0    0


The intention is that I can read files in this partition as an ordinary
user - I'm not interested in writing to it as I haven't investigated the
current state of play with writing to NTFS. But when I try to open the
directory to read I get a permission denied message, with access as
read-only for root and none for anyone else. What have I got wrong?

Thanks

Owain
