I installed root user of Ubuntu and it is working properly. But the only problem is when I come back to my main account, it says that I cannot unmount or mount any drive, as it's in root's ownership. I tried going into root and changing owner from there but when I change back it reverts quickly.
Please help as I've to go to root every time when I want to mount or unmount something
Thank You
EDIT:
Here is the content of /etc/fstab
:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#

Use command with users
option
sudo mount -o users /dev/sdXY /mountpoint
The users
option gives rights to (un)mount for everybody.
The device node is a special device pseudo-file inside /dev
directory. You can find information about your Storage's device node in Disks utility. X and Y are drive letter and partition number respectively.
You should modify your /etc/fstab
file to make the changes permanent. Use sudo gedit /etc/fstab
, find the line with /media/Storage
and add users
option to the 4th column:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
#
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda8 :
UUID=f406231f-88c0-4bcc-8f71-84f962ed0306 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
#Entry for /dev/sda6 :
UUID=5CFA3E3AFA3E112E /media/Games ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda3 :
UUID=AC7C4EC27C4E86D4 /media/OS ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda2 :
UUID=CC70378A703779F2 /media/Recovery ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=E6D61DB1D61D834B /media/Storage ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8,users 0 0
#Entry for /dev/sda7 :
UUID=5e23a31f-95c8-4d0b-ab6c-d34e83fa3a23 none swap sw 0 0
Then, you can mount/unmount this drive using
mount /media/Storage #mount Storage
umount /media/Storage #unmount Storage
