Hardrive access issue

Postby tranz » Tue Jan 08, 2008 1:10 am

Ok so how do I explain this problem... Until last night I had one hard drive installed partitioned out with a dual boot of XP (SDA1) and 1.6.(SDA3) All of my data is primarily stored on the XP side and from initial install of 1.4- 1.6 have had no problem accesing/read/write to that partition :D .
Well last night I installed a secondary hard drive for additional storage... But I decided to install 1.6 on it as well and make it my primary drive. I partitioned out 20GB for 1.6 (SDB1) and formatted the remaining 280GB as an EXT3 format (SDB2). Both drives are SATA so no need in slave or primary jumpers.
The two partitions from the first drive (SDA1 & SDA3) Mount as well as the EXT3 partition on the new drive (SDB2). Now SDA1 and SDA3 allow me to create and rename files or folders but SDB2 does not. How do I get SDB2 to allow me to create files and folders? I've tried searching the forum and the Ubuntu forum but I can't find the answer... I'm sure it is something simple I am over looking but...

Are you able to mount it? What I mean - is SDB2 mounted? Somehow you don't have the permissions on that partition. If you right click the drive and select permissions who is the owner? Have you tried to run as root in nautilus and change the permissions ( sudo nautilus )? Just a few ideas, maybe you'll have some luck with'em ;)

Thank you so much Daddyx3 for your prompt reply! :D

Yes it does mount and I did Sudo Nautilus and changed from root to user_id and I now have full access! Thank you so much. I figured it was really simple but it was completely eluding me! It's a wonderful thing when it works out so easily! Thank you again :D !

HA HA :lol: I don't think it was Luck! You seem to know quite a lot about this OS and Linux so don't sell it short!

But just to let anyone know that may have this problem... What fixed it (thanks to DaddyX3's suggestion):

in terminal $ sudo nautilus

Went to filesystem and selected media-sdb2
Opened up properties clicked on Permissions tab and set configuration to the following:

Owner: your user_id
Folder Access: Create and delete files

Group: Plugdev
Folder Access: Create and Delete Files

Others
Folder Acces: None

I now have full access and control over the Drives File system.
