wrote: I have an external USB drive which I access through Kwikdisk, mount, and then "open in filemanager".No problem here. When I want to write to it , I need to be root. It wasn't a problem in 9.1, I just opened the program as root , mount and open in Filemanager. However since I upgraded to 9.2 , I can still do the same as *user* but when I open the program as root , mount, the "open in Filemanager" doesn't work anymore. I click on that option and nothing happens, what means I cannot write to that disk anymore.
Anybody an idea to fix this?
I never used external disk and kwickdisk, but most probably there is a line in /etc/fstab for that drive. Can you post that line?
Thanks /dev/sda1 /data1 auto noauto,user 0 0
try thsi: /dev/sda1 /data1 auto user,exec,dev,suid,rw,gid=600,umask=000,quiet 0 0 With 9.0 I used this settings with my digital camera (recognized as mass storage, i.e. as usb disk). I had never problems to read/write to it. And.. change gid=xxx to your user gid. Cheers Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85
