(This is a semi-FAQ; see > http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-current&m=107240592221911&w=2) Interestingly though, this doesn't seem to work in my case. I have compiled in support for msdosfs, ntfs, libiconv, libmchain, msdosfs_iconv & ntfs_iconv. I have also set vfs.usermount=1, put myself in the wheel & operator groups and made group rw the device files and mountpoints. I still get an "Operation not permitted error" when I try to access the ntfs partition for instance. What else could be affecting things? -- Panagiotis Astithas Electrical & Computer Engineer, PhD Network Management Center National Technical University of Athens, Greece
