For fixed disks this will work. Keep in mind that HAL and udev no longer use /etc/fstab for mount options of removable devices. Which is one hell of a PITA, as udev and esp HAL are one big mess which needs a degree in computer science to understand. Turn device icons on somewhere in KDE control centre. Right click on the device icon for the removable device, go into properties, and change the permissions there. This change is permanent over reboots. > If you are the only one using the computer then I would, as root, type.... > > chmod -R 777 /music/My Music/ > > (To be root, type "su -" then press enter then enter root password) > > There may be plenty who would advise against my suggestion so maybe give it a > while to wait for others to respond. Yes I advise against this, because for fat, vfat, and every other mickey mouse filesystem, changes to unix permissions and ownerships only keep until the next umount. Or reboot.
