format hard drive and set group permissions

[Marek Novotny]

Hi group,

I made a little video and posted it in YouTube which shows how I
partition a hard drive and set group permissions such that it works well
with multiple Linux machines without permissions issues.

https://youtu.be/HxTdhSn8X-g

First attempt at recording audio on Linux so I am sure it's awful on the
audio. Apologies in advance.

Here is a brief check list of things to do that are in the video.

--begin-steps---------------------

identify the added hard drive

$ lsblk

create the partition table

$ sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb

format the volume

$ sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1

label the partition

$ e2label /dev/sdb1 data

mount the volume

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/usb3drive
$ sudo mount /dev/sbd1 /mnt/usb3drive

create a group that can be set and used on all your Linux machines

$ sudo groupadd -g 1501 groupa
$ sudo usermod -a -G groupa marek
$ getent group groupa or grep groupa /etc/group

change the group ownership and add rwx permissions to that group

sudo chgrp groupa /mnt/usb3drive
sudo chmod g+rwx /mnt/usb3drive

set group + setid to ensure all new files and folders retain the
group of the parent /mnt/usb3drive

$ chmod g+s /mnt/usb3drive

set the default mask (-dm) for groupa to rwx
files will be group rw- and directories will be group rwx

$ sudo setfacl -dm g:groupa:rwx /mnt/usb3drive

check the acl settings

$ getfacl /mnt/usb3drive

--end-steps--------------------

I'm actually using the #1 one in that list, simple screen recorder. It
leaves a bit to be desired but ultimately gets the job done.

It shows how weak Linux is at screencasting.
Applications with the features of ScreenFlow or Camtasia don't exist for
Linux.
I applaud your efforts and your video isn't bad by any means but you
could do much better with a Mac or even a Windows PC.

As someone who does a fair amount of screencasting I think you did fine...
at least from what I have seen (have not watched all the way through).

When doing a live demo with an audience it is common to shake the mouse to
show people where it is... on a screencast it is better to use other methods
to make the pointer stand out. Or just move it slowly and trust people to
follow it.

But that is a nit and a very common thing people new to screencasting do...
overall seems great and your voice is excellent for screencasting. Well
done.

Will try to look at it more in the next couple days if you like.

The video is 30 minutes long. If there is a way to break up videos to be no
more than 10-15 minutes that tends to keep viewers more... they can digest
the info more easily.

What makes you think it's snit? That's the oldest gag in the book.
Everyone is snit. Comes down to you making false accusations.

No it doesn't. Look at the "noob" confession.

Now go to hell, Snit. People here are committed Linux users,

Snit's having a conversation with a couple of his sock puppets. It's

Just about anything the Prescott Parasite does is lame and boring. I

The real question is when are you and those who troll me going to stop
begging for my attention.

Look at this thread: my ONE comment was to note how I think the screencast
was done well and offer a small suggestion (noting it is a common mistake).

No insults. No attacks. No trolling.

Now here you and others who troll are -- babbling the same, tired, "Everyone
is Snit" gag like it is the most amusing joke you have ever heard, making up
stories, begging to be accepted by those who troll.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you morons? I cannot imagine spending
year after year after year working to be accepted by those who troll and
bully -- the exact thing YOU are doing.

How can you not be ashamed of yourself? Why would you advertise your
insecurity like that? I find it baffling how you can humiliate yourself in
public time and time again as you do above (still quoted) and not feel the
need to change.

You have NO self respect.

So why are *you* here? You are not a linux user, you know next to nothing
about linux and all you ever do is trolling usenet.

In short: You have absolutely no business posting here

Nothing even slighty offensive to any reasonable person.

[Silver Slimer]

The biggest problem for me is that he doesn't even have a remote
_interest_ in Linux. He admitted that he only came here because it was
one of the most active newsgroups. He essentially just wanted as large
an audience as possible for his imbecilic behaviour.

Most of the people here, whether they use it or not, are interested in
seeing how it will develop. Some people, like me, keep a close eye on
what's going on in the hope that a perfect distribution will eventually
emerge (it just happened for me with Korora Linux 25). In his case, it's
Apple, OS X and it will CONTINUE to be Apple and OS X regardless of how
great Linux eventually becomes.
