Scythe Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I have a Kubuntu server that for some reason I can't write to my storage drives while logged in. Here's my fstab: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/hda1 UUID=825f5093-d527-4dc7-8da2-0f4e60212898 / ext3 nouser,defaults,errors=remount-ro,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 1 # /dev/hda5 UUID=a84677a7-55d8-4373-8590-a8f40cde18f0 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 auto user,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto user,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 /dev/sda1 /media/storage1 auto user,exec,rw 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /media/storage1b auto user,exec,rw 0 0 # /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 Everything I've found on Google has told me that I have the entries for /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 all set correctly, but for some reason I still can't write to them. I'm kinda wishing I had stuck with Fedora 7, but if this can also work I'll stay with Kubuntu. Permissions with Fedora were much easier.

Scythe Posted December 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hey....solved my own problem :-) I just had to run this code: scythe@gfunk:/media$ sudo chown -hR scythe storage1 scythe@gfunk:/media$ sudo chown -hR scythe storage1b Oddly enough I found this out while trying to find out why I couldn't get write access through Samba...but whatever it works now.
