Installed Knoppix 3.3 to HDD. I have 2 SCSI drives, and they are paritioned as follows:
sda:
sda1 (boot)(ext2)
sda2 (swap)
sda3 (/)(ext3)
sdb:
sdb1 (ext3)
Both were found on install, and mount for me...I can browse them from the desktop just fine.
However, I can't write to them, and right clicking the drives DOES show me the "change read/write mode" option, but when I click on it, my cursor shows busy, then nothing happens. I am still not able to write to these partitions (unless, of course, I'm root)
I have tried (as root)
mount -t ext3 -0 remount,rw /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1
and have not gotten any error messages, so I assume that whatever was supposed to happen, happened. :?
Because I'm new to this, and I would rather not take up board space with useless information, I will post the contents of fstab, or any other file that may help deduce the problem, if asked (but I'm not going to use up space for that unless I need to.)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
