+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted May 22, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted May 22, 2008 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. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda5 UUID=17555cc1-6fd2-4ab4-8200-4dcf6d1b9ae5 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda6 UUID=6eae8444-3bc6-4694-bddf-6391a1040bb9 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 # 750Gb /dev/sda UUID=e5444b99-439e-446a-9314-5f9f308a12fc /mnt/videos ext3 defaults 0 0 # 160Gb /dev/sdc UUID=d1818eaa-1a1e-48d7-94d0-ec05221b058c /mnt/torrents ext3 defaults 0 0 # 1Tb /dev/sdd UUID=87fb8b70-73a3-4195-931c-8853a403363a /mnt/misc ext3 defaults 0 0 # 1Tb /dev/sde 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?

Borbus Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+unabatedshagie Subscriber¹ Posted May 22, 2008 Author Subscriber¹ Share Posted May 22, 2008 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.
