Partition acting weird [Solved]

Hi all.

I have a partition called /mnt/LinuxStuff

I can create new directories and write to that directory but it won't allow me to create or write to any of the directories inside /mnt/LinuxStuff

Anyone one have any clues as to why I can't add files to the directories I can create.

The line in fstab is as follows

 

/dev/hdd2 /mnt/LinuxStuff ext3 defaults 1 2

Indeed, this sounds like a problem with permissions. If the user you're logged on with is not part of the user group of the user that created the dirs/files, you won't be able to write to them.

 

If this is the case, you could simply add yourself to the right user group and you'll be able to access the files/dirs.

 

If you created the files/dirs with root, it would be a bad idea to add yourself to the root group as that is rather insecure. It would be better, then, to just change the owner of the dirs to your preferred login's name using chown.
