> sets ownership as root with 755 u wouldnt notice anything on a vfat because it would just disregard it.. anyway the way i was able to solve the problem was by changing the owner of the device to me sudo chown bigbrovar /media/bigbrovar in your case it should be sudo chown yourusername /media/the name of the external hard drive (or its mount point) most external drives are always mounted as disk in /media so it could be sudo chown yourusername /media/disk by doing it this way i was able to have read right permission on the usb drive.. even when i unmounted and remounted it. am not sure if this is the ideal way to go about it. but it does works for me.. try it and let us know if it works. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ubuntunigeria" group.
