partition parmissions
Hello,
I have created a partition called /orange that resides on a single hard drive called sdb1. My problem is that I would like use this to store videos and music using my user permissions, not root. But each time I try to gain access to it it says I do not have the permissions to enter the folder. I would like read/write permissions as limewire could also use it too. I know I got to do a chmod, but I dont know the number. Thanks |
chmod 770 ...... will give users rwx-perms.
egag |
I typed su - and password and then typed
chmod 770 /orange and then tried to open the folder and still nothing...still getting cannot open folder blah blah something to do with chown?? |
ah okay, can someone double check this..
I did chown root.yellowmonkey /orange and now everything works. Is that right? edit: crap all the folders in /orange still belong to root :( |
chmod -R ....... ( see "man chmod")
edit: sh*t :i mean "chown ..." egag |
you'll want to do this:
Code:
# chown -R root.yellowmonkey /path/to/orange |
okay, so the "-R" changes permissions for all file/folders under /orange..excellent work lads!
Help is really appreicated :) edit: Love the website...and your mugshot :) |
