This is the first time I've ever dabbled with multiple drives in Linux, and I don't know what to do. Where should I mount it? If I mount it as a subdirectory of my home, then it's mine. What if someone else wants to use it? I thought about something like /var/storage, and I did that, but then I had permission problems (because root mounted it, so root owned it). If I tried to 777 it, it only went to 755. I couldn't chown or chgrp it either. I thought reformatting the drive as vfat might solve the permission issues, but it did not.
sudo chown joe /var/storage operation not permitted. sudo chown joe ~/hdb1 operation not permitted. So what do I do? What filesystem should I use? And yes, for future use, I'll throw an entry in fstab, I was just using mount for now. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
