I've tried it as root, both with KDE and GNOME, I can open the drive and copy files to the drive using the filemanagers or from the command line. It seems to be a permissions problem, but I would have expected the two suggestions from Sunny and I would have worked.
Well, I'll don't know anymore. :-) I opened Konqueror , Filemanger, Devices and there my drive came up twice. (In kwikdisk only once) Once as /data1 and once as /media/usb xx6578 etc. I clicked on the last one and had complete access again!
Go figure.
I disabled subfs early on as it seemed to just cause confusion, it's still not at the quality that amd was years ago and hasn't been accepted into the vanilla kernel, it still has a ways to go I think. Unless it's causing you undue grief, I'd recommend working out a routine for handling it and wait for things to improve. USB can be tricky, on later kernels it's not a scsi device, so on kernel.org kernels >=2.6.9, it's /dev/ub?. Typical behaviour here - the mains plug to the power supply for this HD enclosure isn't the best fit, so if accidentally the lead is stepped on, it powers off/on, so it went from /dev/uba to /dev/ubb and now /dev/ubc until the next reboot, it seems hotplug is saying uba has failed, here comes another one, that must be ubb etc. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....
