ReiserFS & USB hard drive

TheShemeta · 12-03-2004, 07:05 AM

Hi guys,

here is my problem, which i hope you can help me solve. i got a new USB hard drive & one of the partitions is ReiserFS. i have NO PROBLEMS mounting the drive as user, but then i have no permissions to create folders or to copy files. it's confusing me, because i am able to mount it, but not use it. here is part of my fstab:

Code:

/dev/sda2              /mnt/external  reiserfs  defaults,noauto,users  0 0

i am using udev, so here is part of my udev.permissions

Code:

sd*:root:users:660

thanks for your help,

Shemeta

Hi.

Perhaps the files and directories on the drive are owned by root (or someone else)?

the hard drive is new, i just formated it with

Code:

mkreiserfs /dev/sda2

, so there are no files & directories there. and user can't create any.

What are the permissions on the /mnt/external directory?

i changed the permission of /mnt/external & now it seems to be ok. i wonder how it worked with my old hard drive, since i didn't change anything. oohh well. i hope next time i restart it will be ok too.

thanks for the help guys! YOU ROCK!
