[opensuse] Problem mounting other mechanical drives with 12.2
I haven't been able to really track this one down... I've got a clean install of openSUSE 12.2 (fully updated plus KDE 4.9.2). openSUSE is installed on an SSD drive, and I've got two other mechanical drives in the computer. The drives are identical 1TB Samsung drives - neither contain any data (they are recently (ext4) formatted drives) If I open Dolphin and click on the second drive, I get a popup asking me for root password for mounting the drive. I enter root pwd and it mounts correctly and gives me full read/write access as $USER. This is exactly what I want, and this is the out-of-the-box behaviour (I didn't tweak anything). If I click on the first mechanical drive, I get the same root password request, but once the drive is mounted, I get read-only access. Why is one drive working "correctly" - ie the mount is working as I expect - and the other not? Where should I be looking to sort this one out? I would like to have both drives behave the same (full read/write once mounted).

Try changing the permissions of the mount point with the drives mounted - might hold. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I can do a chown to $USER:users and gain read/write access to that drive (it was root:root).... I'm wondering though why one was working for $USER and the other not (this is a single user system, and all files are written as the initial $USER). Maybe it's a leftover from a previous install? The drives were reformatted... but I have no idea. That's basically why I was asking here... trying to understand why one worked and the other failed to work as expected. I haven't tried rebooting since doing the chown to see if the change holds over reboots.

Dunno, I always use fstab for those things, but I read months ago some said that it holds. It depends on the desktop, perhaps. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
