If you did a fresh install most likely your UID/GID has changed. Older versions started at 500/500 while the latest versions start at 1000/1000 when users are created. If you do an "ls -l" at the top of the mount point (directory) you'll see numbers where the username and goupname are normally displayed. Simply do, as root and from the mount point chown -R username:groupname -- From now on, at least during winter time, Im going to blame all spelling an grammar erros on the cat sitting on my chest every time I sit down at the computer.... -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
