Frugal Install mount r/o??Forum: HD Install Topic: Frugal Install mount r/o?? started by: Max Posted by Max on Jan. 20 2005,16:10
I've got a frugal install of 0.9.2hda1 = swap hda2 = frugal (ext 2) hda3 = free space (ext2) Whenever I mount hda3 using the slit's mount.app only the root user has r/w access. "dsl" user cannot even view a listing of the directory. I can understand this for hda2 where the frugal install is loaded. How do I use mount.app to mount the drive so the "dsl" user has r/w on this drive by default?? Note: I did search the forums. There were other similar posts, but all had to do with full HD installs. There was a post from roberts on manually doing a: mount -t ext2 /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 -o uid=1001 Posted by juggz on Jan. 22 2005,05:01
Hey,have you tried adding the mount line to your /etc/fstab? Become root, open up fstab, and look for lines containing /dev/hda3, comment out this line by putting a # in front of it and then add "/dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 ext2 rw,user,uid=1000 0 0" on a new line. I'm not sure if that has the proper options, you might want to read up on fstab and mount. Posted by ke4nt1 on Jan. 22 2005,09:15
I opened emelfm as root, mounted the partition, and highlight the dir inside /mnt( hda3 for you ) , by left clicking one time, then right click, goto properties> permissions and set all boxes to read/write , then opened up the dir, and did the same thing inside it. Dbl check it to be sure... Now everyone can read/write in it. 73 ke4nt |
