Hi
I have an external usb hard disk which also contains an ext3 partition
(besides the standard fat one).
When I switch it on, kde detects it and offers to open the contents in
a new window (for both partitions); however, while the fat partition
is mounted on a directory (under /media) whose owner is myself, for
the ext3 partition the owner of the directory is always root and I can
write into that partition...
I've also tried to insert this line in /etc/fstab
/dev/sda2 /media/onetouch2 ext3
user,noatime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,suid 0 0
but nothing changes...
where am I doing wrong?
thanks in advance
Lorenzo
After the ext3 partition is mounted, try changing the ownership of the
files and directories to yourself (as root, of course)
# chown <username> -R /media/onetouch2
yes, that's the solution... I had realized it some time after posting
the question :-)
it wasn't a problem with mount it was a problem related to the
permissions in the partition itself.
thanks!
Lorenzo
