I would love to get the automount working though because having to mount the disks is not something Catherine will do herself..she just wants the Soundbridge to work

you are probably looking for the “uid” and “gid” options to mount.

You can use the ID command (logged in as you) to find out what uid and gid you have:


ron@debian-server:~$ id
uid=1000(ron) gid=1000(ron)

Then you can add the line in fstab to something like:


/dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

The important bits being the uid=1000,gid=1000, which mounts it owned by you and your primary group. The rest of it you can change as necessary.
