So far, so good with the "sudo mount -o ro /home/church/yellow" bit - except for the obvious fact that a read-only drive isn't terribly useful.<br><br>For Steve...<br>thanks, but I do umount when I am allowed to. as for the ntfs, no, I don't particularly need it to be so, but the drive came preformatted and I haven't had any problems sharing an ntfs partition on my main hard drive.
<br><br>Side question...<br>If I use the drive on another computer (after properly umonting or shutting down, of course) and plug it back in, it often changes location (e.g. from /dev/hdb1 to /dev/hdd1 or even /dev/sda1). I have been using dmesg to find it and then manually changing the fstab.
<br><br>(/dev/sda1 /home/church/yellow ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,user 0 0)<br><br>There must be a better way. Any suggestions?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/15/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">
