hard drive access problem
My 2nd hd was originally ntfs and I could not write to it in linux so I repartitioned it to half ntfs and half ext3 now only root has complete read write access to the ext3 partition. I can access it to read as my user BUT not to write..I tried adding umask=0222 to fstab but then as a user it wont even mount it gives me the error too many mounted file systems..what do I need to do to give my user complete read write access??
|
add user to the permissions, and mount it as a user.
|
did that but its still mounting the drive as read only for user??? even for folders on the drive that user created
|
add to the options rw. Also try chmod the files and directories to what ever permissions you want i.e.
chmod -R 766 /mnt/thedisk/ |
The problem is your UMASK Value!!
The umask option in mount tells which Bits should *NOT* be set => Inverse Logic. So umask=0222 means do *not* set the write acess bit for Owner/Group/Other. In other words: With umask=0222 *no one* is allowed to write. Try umask =0000 (Allow write access to anyone). The best would be: Group all users allowed to access the partition in one group (e.g. users) and then gid=users umask=0002 So owner and Group members can read/write and others not write or you may use gid= users umask=0007 Others can not access the partition at all. |
