Cant access external HD as user, cant change permissions as root?
Ive got an external HD connected through USB 2.0, and I cant access it as a user. I can access it as root however. I tried changing the permissions for the disk as root, and it tells me that I dont have enough permissions to change the permissions, even as root. Thats pretty screwed up. Anyway, my question is how do I change it? Here is my fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1 /dev/hda7 /home ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0022,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/RAID0 ntfs umask=0022,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 |
I suggest two things:
1. change permission of the mountpoint (when the device is not mounted): chown root:users ../usbdisk chmod 775 ../usbdisk (change "users" to a group your user is a member of and "../usbdisk" to your mountpoint) 2. change umask=0022 of the respective entry in /etc/fstab to umask=0000 |
