Hello, I have an external drive formatted and attached at bootup. The /etc/fstab entry is this: /dev/sdb1 /media/disk reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2
The problem is that a ordinary user cannot write to the disk , only root can. I am using opensuse 12.1 on this machine.
Questions. -How can the disk be mounted so a ordinary user can write to the disk ? -What commands do I need to run to to do this, examples would be useful ?
Several things. As you are using fstab, change the mount point to /mnt/myexternal or any other place you like - but never /media. Leave /media for the automatic system.
Do not use device names as /dev/sdb1. Never. You can instead create a label on that disk:
reiserfstune --label MyExternal /dev/sdb1
Or mount by id (from /dev/disk/by-id) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
