OK I might have found the problem....
This specific USB stick gets mounted under /media/USBSTICK... I verified the permissions of this folder and here it is:
Code:
bash-4.1# ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 USBSTICK
So as you can see, this folder does not have write permissions for anything erxcept the owner, root.
I tried to change the permissions while the stick was mounted there, but it does not work. No errors are issued, i/e/ I see nothing when I try, but the permissions are kept the same.
I used
At first I thought it was because the stick was mounted. Then I unplugged the stick but the mount point dissapeared (normal). I also tried using a root session and via the GUI, same thing. It seems to complete successfully, but the permissions are not changed.
So here are my questions:
Could it be my problem?
If so, how do I change these permissions permanently? I imagine there must be a way to get the mount point created with these permissions at first?
Then if it works for this one, how do I get EVERY future mount points for USB sticks or hard drives mounted with proper permissions? I really dont want to screw around this every time I want to use a stupid usb stick....
EDIT: Whats up with that 1969 date? THis stick is not that old...
