Interestingly though, this doesn't seem to work in my case. I have compiled in
support for msdosfs, ntfs, libiconv, libmchain, msdosfs_iconv & ntfs_iconv. I
have also set vfs.usermount=1, put myself in the wheel & operator groups and
made group rw the device files and mountpoints.
I still get an "Operation not permitted error" when I try to access the ntfs
partition for instance. What else could be affecting things?
