Mounting exfat as normal user?

[arromdee]

In 4.0 I used to be able to do this, with exfat-fuse as the filesystem type in /etc/fstab. In 5.0 it seems to be impossible.

I have in /etc/fstab

/dev/sdb1 /media/exfat exfat-fuse users,rw,umask=000,iocharset=utf8,noauto 0 0

This works as root but fails as a normal user.

http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g ... seroption3 tells me that I can't do it using Fuse unless ntfs-3g is compiled with integrated Fuse support. It isn't. Is there some way to do it without Fuse? Directly putting ntfs-3g in /etc/fstab as the filesystem type silently fails as a user and as root produces the error "NTFS signature is missing."

You're asking for exFAT. Where is the relation to ntfs-3g and why do you ask for ntfs-3g?

Please show the actual output when you try to mount it as user

Code: Select all

mount -v /media/exfat

If you want to tell me that ntfs-3g is the wrong type to use, you could just say so. Even better, you could tell me the right one to use instead.

With "exfat-fuse" in /etc/fstab, I get this:

Code: Select all

/tmp% mount /media/exfat
FUSE exfat 1.1.0
fusermount: option blkdev is privileged
/tmp%

The page I indicated tells me what this message means for ntfs-3g. I see now that ntfs-3g is not what I need, but I don't know what I need and it clearly doesn't work.
