Can't access filesystem?

SN4K3 · 2011-03-18 10:59:35

I installed arch and openbox But I cant seem to access my storage filesystem I get an error like

mount: warning: /mnt/1 seems to be mounted read-only.

and then when I try to cd to the directory...

[!@#$%@Outlaw mnt]$ cd /mnt/1
bash: cd: /mnt/1: Permission denied
[!@#$%@Outlaw mnt]$

But I can access it through the root user but not with my normal user account.

And I also dont have a problem with other filesystems

Please provide the output of 'mount' and further details (fstab entry or action of mounting, filesystem type).

I would check groups

$ groups

and be sure that I'm on storage and optical.

Output of mount is already given.

Heres the output of groups.

[athul@Outlaw /]$ groups

no, it's not. just execute

mount

and paste the output.

i think that the permissions on /mnt/1 need to be changed so that your "normal" user can read it. check out chmod.

Tried chmod 777 but didnt work.

What is filesystem on the block that you are trying to access? If it's ntfs, try ntfs-3g. Else, try mounting with umask set.

# pacman -S ntfs-3g
# mount /dev/<your_device> /mnt/ -t ntfs-3g

or

# mount /dev/<your_device> /mnt/ -o umask=0000

fstab still missing, what about ls -a output of parent directory?

Also, how comes the output of mount does not include the mounted fs? I thought it was mounted and you can access it as root.

Thanx both worked
