Hi All Little bit by little bit this system is beginning to work.
As some of you may recall I set this box up with a data storage partation of /mnt/System_Data. >From a operation perspective I have found that using a separate partition for data is much safer than storing data under any Linux normal partition like /home as it allows one to install, upgrade, and repair systems with lower probability of data loss. This system being different though I did not set it up as I normally do and mount the data partition to /home/<user>/<data partition> this has lead to a slight bit of confusion on my part. I attempted to set permissions on the data partition by modifying permission in root control center -> Security -> Permissions and then adding permission for <user> to access /mnt/System_Data This did not give me permission. My confusion comes about that I know that permission can be changed by command line [not performed yet as I forgot the commands and will have to look them up when I get home] in that either I did something wrong with setting permission or permission for a partition can not be set by use of the GUI procedure. The second part of the issue is that in another box I have my data storage mounted as /home/<user>/Common_Data which gives no permission issues that I know of if I use Konqueror as a file manager but if I use MidnightCommander I have issues exemplified by my moving a file from /home/<user>/<file name. to /home/<user>/Common_Data I will receive a red which says: Cannot chmod target file "/home/<user>/<file name> Operation not permitted Skip Retry Abort When I hit Skip or Abort I find that file has transferred. I would appreciate what enlightenment into my root issue anyone may provide. Thanks Frank
