Hi,
The following has me stumped: I now have 3 hard drives: The primary (hda) on which I'm currently running Fedora Core 3, a secondary (hdb) which I use for testing other distributions/versions and such, and now another secondary (hdd) which I want to use as file storage.
I can successfully mount all the ext3 partitions on hdb and hdd using the command: mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb6 /mnt/hdb6 , and so on, but am tired of having to be root to move around files.
So my question is how can I mount those partitions so that I can read and write to them from my normal user account?
I've tried using commands including (but not limited to):
mount -t ext3 -o user,rw,exec,uid=500 /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1
mount -t ext3 -o user,rw,exec,uid=500,umask=000 /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1
mount -t ext3 -o ro,uid=500 /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1
mount -t ext3 -o ro /dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1
and nothing works. All but the last one give me an error, and none of them make it so I can read/write to my other partitions as a non-root user. I've also tried adding to fstab, and that returns errors also. So what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
