Hello,
I have an additional hard drive i want to mount it into /mnt/Ddrive/ on startup but it mounts it with all the permissions and it belongs to root i wanna mount it with the this permissions:
rwx r-x r-x emre:emre
how can i configure that ?
Here is my fstab file:
You can do that with an additional line in /etc/fstab.
First - don’t use /mnt for permanent mounts - it’s purpose in the FHS is temporary mounts.
Create a separate mountpoint - and set the necessary permissions
I created a mountpoint /Ddrive/ after mounting permissions are changing to the drwx rwx rwx again in fstab file i mount it with this line
UUID=626E6FBF6E6F8A9D /Ddrive/ ntfs defaults,-default_permissions 0 0
Did you read my tutorial?
If it’s a non-POSIX filesystem that contains only files pertinent to your user account, then mount it to a directory in your home directory.
Look at the mount options for ntfs in… 
man mount
You need to set the uid to your user ─ hint: that would normally be 1000 ─ in the mount options, and set a umask. The umask does not represent the permissions to set, but the permissions to subtract from 777, so you’ll probably want 022.
You’ll want something like…
UUID=some-long-string /home/keops/Ddrive ntfs-3g auto,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,utf8,umask=022,defaults 0 0
With the newer 5.15 kernel, you can use ntfs3 instead of ntfs-3g. It’s allegedly a little faster because it’s an in-kernel driver, whereas ntfs-3g runs in userspace.
As for the UUID of the filesystem, you can find out about that by issuing the command…
lsblk --tree -o +UUID
Yes - this is normal for ntfs formatted partitions.
The Linux driver does not translate ntfs permissions - and what should they be translated to?
There is no correlation between users on a Windows system and a random Linux system mounting the partition.
Technically, ntfs doesn’t have any real permissions or file ownership; it relies on ACLs to set the permissions.
