cannot write to automounted usbdisk
Hi,
when I plug in my USB disk, it gets automounted to /media/usbdisk. Code:
/dev/sdb1 on /media/usbdisk type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=ext2) Code:
pu@susev:/> touch /media/usbdisk/test |
Maybe you have no sufficient permissions on the mountpoint:

I should have all rights:
Code:
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2006-01-21 16:14 /media/usbdisk/ |
It appears to be linked to the fact that I formatted the usb disk with ext2 (although I could mount it fine in Slackware). But even in Slackware every now and then it didn't work and I had to be root to mount it. This was whenever the mount wanted to do an fsck, which only root was allowed to. The bottom line being that ext2 is not a good format for usb sticks.
I've reformatted it to vfat. Now it works well. |
