You need to change the “permissions”
chmod 777 /dev/sda1 or chmod 777 /media/mydiskname "No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little." "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing" Edmond Burke (1729 - 1797) http://www.packtpub.com/building-a-home-security-system-with-beaglebone/book From: beagleboard@googlegroups.com [mailto:beagleboard@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jose B Rivera Sent: Monday, September 01, 2014 10:17 PM To: beagleboard@googlegroups.com Subject: [beagleboard] Re: Booting off Micro SD Card I somehow figured out how to get my micro sd card to be 'sda1'. I added some text to it "mmcdev=1 bootpart=1:2 mmcroot=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro optargs=quiet" And named it uEnv.txt (on the card itself) Now my BBB sees it as sda1. I was able to mount it to /media by making a directory under it and then mounted it. Question: How do I now use this mounted sda1? I tried ftp upload to it but I get permission denied.

(And the instructions to go with it?). Having my BBB recognize the 32gb card as external storage has become such a big problem/issue, that at this point I just want to boot off the card in order to use the 32gb of file space it affords. All I find on the internet are confusing instructions which tend to mix files used to flash the emmc with instructions to boot off a micro-sd card. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
