Permission Issue with Slackware 12.1
 

Somewhat of a newbie here...

I need to make my 500GB USB Western Digital external hard drive able to be written to for other user accounts on this computer. I tried altering the folder and file permissions, but when I close the window, it always reverts to the 755 mode.

I am logged in as root when I try to do this and the drive is mounted to /media/sda1. Am I missing something?

Are you altering the permissions on the mount point or the device?

Hi,

What do you have in your '/etc/fstab'?
