I am using this is fstab to mount the partition at backup.

/dev/sda5 /media/virtual ntfs defaults 0 0

When i reboot the permissions are automatically set to 777.

I want that only one user i.e userA can read and write , all others should not see the contents of that drive.

What should i do

anything like

 /dev/sda5 /media/virtual ntfs userA 700  defaults 0 0

/dev/sda5 /media/virtual ntfs defaults,umask=700,uid=1 0 0

change the UID to the appropriate user (found in /etc/passwd). 1 is root.
