Mounting a parbreastion without root permissions

Duane Evenson Can you explain what you mean by "a data file system"? For my biggest "data file" (actually a lot of files), I use 4 raw parbreastions (each on a separate ultra-320 SCSI...
Hello!
I have a problem, a solution to which I've been looking for a while now. I have a dual-boot system, with Fedora Core 4 installed on one parbreastion, and Windows XP installed on another. Among the parbreastions I have, there's an NTFS parbreastion atdev-sda4, which I would like to mount under Linux. Problem is - I cannot do this without root permissions. All the solutions I found all over the internet, refer to the fileetc-fstab and suggest to add the 'user' option to the device I would like to mount without root access. Now, I've done that, and it solves the problem - partially: I do get the permission to mount the drive as non-root - but at the moment I do that, the mount point's ownership changes to root, and everybody else loses the access to the mount point. All this, of course, until I unmount - at that stage the mount point's ownership reverts to my user. One thing I thought would help is to give my user permissions to access thedev-sda4 device, yet it doesn't help even with full permissions on the device... I'm totally frustrated by that, and stuck without any ideas...
I would appreciate any help... Thanks in advance, Lev.
