    chmod doesnt work ?

    trying to get my laptop sorted with live-knoppix.
    Code:
    root@0[mnt]# cd ..
    root@0[/]# ls -la /mnt |grep uba
    drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 16384 Jul 26 16:16 uba1
    root@0[/]# chmod 777 /mnt/uba1
    root@0[/]# ls -la /mnt |grep uba
    drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 16384 Jul 26 16:16 uba1
    root@0[/]#
    doesnt seem to work.
    Neither does
    Code:
    mount -o remount,uid=knoppix uba1
    to allow user knoppix to write to the usb stick

    am i missing something ?

    I might have some ideas, mostly guesses...

    have you tried:
    cd /mnt
    chmod 777 uba1


    another thought:
    cd /mnt
    chmod -R 777 uba1


    is uba1 mounted, or not, if it is mounted, then it has contents in the /mnt/uba1 location under it, if it isnt, then that folder will be empty...

    If this is running of the CD, and not hard drive installed, well, actually, doesnt matter... Whats in your /etc/fstab file for the device? See if you can make your changes into the fstab file, then just do a simple mount /dev/uba1

    Just some ideas here, I dont have a clue why it isnt working - but these could be possible resolves...
