Running PartitionFinder in Linux

[bjzhong bjzhong]

Hi Rob,

I downloaded the mac version of PartitionFinder, and tried to use it in Linux. But I got some errors shown as below. Do you have any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Bojian

Hi Bojian,

This looks like a permissions problem similar to the one described here:

My guess is that you don't have root access on the machine you are using. If so, this is something you'd need to sort out with your sysadmins.

Cheers,

Rob
