Quick fstab question

Tillotson · 2009-06-09 13:14:55

Just wondering what line people use in their fstab to mount a second hard disk with media. I used to use: LABEL=media /mnt/media ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=026,fmask=137 0 0 Now that I'm using mpd I've had to set dmask=022 and fmask=133. Is this safe-ish? mpd is a daemod which runs under the username…

Just wondering what line people use in their fstab to mount a second hard disk with media. I used to use:
LABEL=media /mnt/media ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=026,fmask=137 0 0

Now that I'm using mpd I've had to set dmask=022 and fmask=133. Is this safe-ish? mpd is a daemod which runs under the username mpd. I've tried to add mpd to the "users" group:
usermod -a -G mpd users
But this didn't work.

Any suggestions or am I grand as is?
Also is there a reason why dmask and fmask are inverted?
