External Hard Disk
Hi,
Pleae can anybody explain how to install a software in my USB external harddisk . Sajid |
A USB external harddisk appears as a generic USB Mass Storage Device.
Normally, you just plug it in, and the system recognises it and mounts it somewhere under /media/. If you don't have automounting turned on, then you will have to mount it yourself with, say: Code:
su -c 'mount /dev/sd0 /media/ -o user' For that to work, you need to have the relevant kernel modules available (most modern distros will have). As to installing software on it, once it's mounted you can just install there like any other directory. If you're sharing the software between several computers, then you may want to compile it with the -static option to prevent problems related to having different library versions. Hope that helps, — Robert J. Lee |

Quote:
In order to create a directory on a filesystem, you need to have read (r), write (w) and execute (x) permissions for the parent directory. If you use Code:
ls -ld /home/oracle Code:
drwxr-x--- Oracle users /home/oracle/ You can change the permissions with the Code:
chmod Code:
chown Also, please note that filenames and user-names are case-sensitive; “Oracle” is a different user from “oracle”. |
