new harddrive mount issues on hardy


Recommended Posts

I've just bought two new 1Tb sata hard drives to replace a couple of 80Gb sata's.

I have formatted and partitioned the drives added them to my fstab using the same command as all my other drives and they mount fine.

Problem is I don't seem to have read write permission with the drives.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

 UUID=011a0b92-7a41-41bd-88e0-61dca3b32626	/mnt/vids	ext3		defaults			0	0

Anyone any ideas on what I could try or why I don't have permissions when the commands are the same as the other drives?

The /mnt/misc and /mnt/vids directories are probably owned by root. You could chown the directories to your own username. Or you could make a new group called storage or something and chgrp them to storage and yourself to that group. Then chmod them to g+rwx.

I've just realised why I didn't have the correct permission's.

The other drives already had me as the owner (from my previous install) however the fresh new drives didn't.

Everything is working now though.
