Hi, I borrowed a friend's disk-on-key to try it on my Mandrake box. As hoped, I was able to read data from the device with no problem. I just plugged in to the USB and an icon appeared on the desktop. Clicking the icon mounted the device. But I haven't been able to save data.
The permissions for the device seem OK. [EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -lad /mnt/r* drwxrwxrwx 3 solomon solomon 16384 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/removable/ When I copy a file to the device (using the GUI or command line), I can see the file listed. This is also true in the GUI and command line (ls -la). [EMAIL PROTECTED] solomon]$ ls -la /mnt/r*/ne* -rwxrwxrwx 1 solomon solomon 8723 Nov 27 20:27 /mnt/removable/newfile* But despite the fact that I can see the file listed, if I unmount and mount again, the file I copied to the device is gone. I've tried manually mounting from the command line both as a regular user and as root and that doesn't help. BTW - the device itself is formatted for Windows. I can't change that because the device is not my property and I have to return it to my friend. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
