no write permission to hd

[SebP10]

It is nice to have security but to much is a bit annoying...

I am using 4.0.2 live,
- hda3 is writable (device-read only is unchecked),
- users and group are rwx,
- rightclic-action r&w is done,
- the partition have been unmounted and remounted,

But I still have "write permission denied" when trying to write anything...

I suppose there is a trick, maybe a tip I did not know nor find already...

Can not it be a user (curently it is the knoppix default one) problem?

ok, after a furious brainstorming I have found:
# chmod 777 /mnt/hda3/myfolder

/mnt not /dev, allow me to do it

any way to do it easier and persistent? from fstab for ex.?

I'm having the same problem as you. I'm somewhat new to Linux though so could you please explain in detail how you fixed it? It would be much appreciated.

# mean you are in a root shell (in Knoppix menu)
chmod is the same as attrib in MSDos
777 mean read write execute for user owner group (you can do it with -rwxrwxrwx, but the former is easier!)
mnt is the logic link for dev (hardware link)
hda3 is the partition a want to mount, the number may change, if you have scsi or notebook harddrive you may have sda ... have a look at www.tldp.org partitoining howto to understand how harddisc are named
<myfolder> is the folder name you want to have access to, Linux is safe but I think it is always good not to share the drive itself...


The problem is that change is not persistent, even if you saveconfig, hope somone will fix that?
