This seems to be a strange problem with an external hard drive.
I recently installed a new HD in my PC and installed slackware 13 so the smaller hard drive is going to be used as a backup. It used to have 2 partitions both reiserfs and when I plugged it in I had rwx access to it and there were no issues. I decided then that after I got all my important files off copied to my internal drive I could repartition the removable drive and reformat it. Ever since the reformat I no longer have w access to this drive when I plug it in. The drive mounts to /media/SlackBackup and when I look the permissions are
Code:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-09-25 23:29 SlackBackup
I looked at the device node as well:
Code:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 2009-09-26 09:03 /dev/sdb1
When I look through /lib/udev/rules.d/65-permissions.rules the lines relevant for disks (sd*) says that the device should be set for the plugdev group which my account is a member of. This is not happening so I'm thinking something is messed up somewhere.
Also I tried adding the drive to fstab by UUID but it wouldn't let me write so I removed the entry.
Any help always appreciated.
