+====== Allowing user to mount ======
 By default, ntfs-3g requires root rights to mount the filesystem, even with the "user" option in /etc/fstab, the reason why can be found [http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged here]. The user option in the fstab is still required. To be able to mount as user, a few tweaks need to be made:

 First, check that you have access to the mount block you want to use, the easiest way to do that is to be in the disk groups with the following command:
- # gpasswd -a username disk
+  # gpasswd -a username disk
-{{Note| groups rights sometimes requires rebooting to kick in}}

 You also need acces right to the mount point you want to use, since we're going to mount something as user on this mountpoint, we might as well own it:
- # chown ''user'' /mnt/''mountpoint''
-Second is having a ntfs-3g driver compiled with integrated FUSE support, the ntfs-3g package from extra doesn't, but there is one {{AUR|ntfs-3g-fuse}} on AUR.

+Second is having a ntfs-3g driver compiled with integrated FUSE support, the ntfs-3g package from extra doesn't, but there is one ntfs-3g-fuse on AUR.
 Third, we need to setuid root the driver. It is done by issuing these two commands as root:
- # chown root $(which ntfs-3g)
- # chmod 4755 $(which ntfs-3g)
+  # chown root $(which ntfs-3g)
+  # chmod 4755 $(which ntfs-3g)
 You should now be able to mount your NTFS partition without root rights.
-{{Note| There seems to be an issue with unmounting rights, so you will still need root rights if you need to unmount the filesystem. You can also use {{ic|fusermount -u /mnt/''mountpoint''}} to unmount the filesystem without root rights. Also, if you use the {{ic|''users''}} option (plural) in {{ic|/etc/fstab}} instead of the {{ic|user}} option, you will be able to both mount and unmount the filesystem using the {{ic|mount}} and {{ic|umount}} commands.}}
