Mounting ntfs in Fedora 17

In Fedora 17 the mounting point of external devices have been changed to /run/media/{userhome}/{mountpoint}

As all runtime data from fedora 17 is stored in /run . So Is th emount points changed.

 

By default when you mount a ntfs filesystem the fs is mounted as - noexec. or you cannot execute anything from the fs.

So you chould ideally mount it using the exec options. for this add the following to your fstab. And the next time when you mount fs the scripts as well as binaries within fs will

executable -

 

also dont forget to create the mountpoint folder inside " /run/media/{username}"

sudo vi /etc/fstab

/dev/sda7  /run/media/{username}/{Mountpoint}                   ntfs    defaults,user,exec  0
/dev/sda5  /run/media/{username}/{Mountpoint}    ntfs    defaults,user,exec  0
