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 12.2 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 ?
This is not a kernel question, it is a standard plain Linux question. Fast off-topic answer: First, do not use /media, move the mount point to /mnt. Second: use chown and chmod to change permissions of mounted partition. Or create directory belonging to your user. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
