Access secondary drive without root password
I have a laptop with two SSD's. One runs Arch. Both are partitioned for Linux and auto mount on start up. When accessing the second drive from dolphin however it always asks for the root password. Is there a way to turn this off?
Thanks. |
usually you can configure it in /etc/fstab (to allow mount for users).

Or the directory you mount on? I have no special settings in fstab, but the 2 things above are user-owned. No problems whatsoever. OTOH this could also have to do with permissions required to do the mounting itself. Tell us a bit more about it; what exactly is the error message? Once mounted, can you access everything normally? |

I second ondoho's suggestion. You can put it in fstab with the "rw" flag.
A web search for "configure fstab" will turn up a number of articles and tutorials. This is one of my favorites. |

Which DE and filemanager are you using, how are you starting your graphical environment? |

On 2nd thought, you want it mounted at boot, editing fstab is probably the right choice.
Show us your /etc/fstab. This web search: https://www.startpage.com/do/search?...ering+password had following relevant-looking results: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=154301 https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/co...when_mounting/ https://askubuntu.com/questions/1274...econdary-drive |
