Post subject:  mounting NTFS partition for use with MythTV

i've got a lot of media files that i would like to play back on MythTV that are on a hard drive with a NTFS partition. if it is possible, i'd like to mount the drive to /myth/NTFS. i tried to edit /etc/fstab as root by adding the following line:

/dev/hdb1 /myth/NTFS ntfs auto,user,exec,ro,sync 0 0

the problem is that i can see the files as the root user but when i try to access the /myth/NTFS folder logged in with the mythTV user it says 'permission denied'

is there any way to mount the drive so that all users can access (read-only) the files?

thanks. i got it working with:

Code:
/dev/hdb1 /myth/NTFS auto ro,auto,umask=0222,user,sync 0 0


is there any way to specify more than 1 directory for where the music and videos are located?

i.e.

both /myth/videos and /myth/NTFS/Videos
