Re: [SOLVED] New ext4 drive automounted in fstab, no write permissions

Dolphin does not mount devices directly; the actual automounting is handled by udisks2. By default, when you plug in a USB drive, udisks2 mounts it under /run/media/$USER/<LABEL-or-UUID>. For a permanent hard drive, it is better to configure /etc/fstab with a mount point outside of /run/.

Okay so far I have used the admin privileges to change the permissions of people outside of admin to read and write which allows me to use the drive.

How would someone create a directory that persists after reboot inside of /home ? To then mount it to in the fstab. It is a permanent drive

Re: [SOLVED] New ext4 drive automounted in fstab, no write permissions

you install kio-admin with:

dolphin admin:///

and then run from your terminal, make sure to close any existing dolphin instances:

sudo pacman -S kio-admin

command not found indicates that dolphin as a whole is not installed? could you clarify with an image or output

reinstalling dolphin via pacman fixed command not found

this allows me to edit the directory with dolphin, however my issue is the permissions of the directories themselves as steam will not accept it without the privileges

dolphin admin:///

you can chown the mount point and contents, not sure if it would do any harm as long as it's just for storing games, and choose a different mount point like /mnt/games and then chown that and have the path in fstab changed to that

this will work

This did work, I did a similar thing but with a /media/gamedisks, a directory I created yesterday trying to do the same thing but with a NTFS drive, all working now, thanks !

Re: [SOLVED] New ext4 drive automounted in fstab, no write permissions

/mnt This directory is provided so that the system administrator may temporarily mount a filesystem as needed.
The Linux File system hierarchy is a good standard to follow.

where you mount really doesn't matter, all in all it gets unmounted by systemd in the end

this will work

So I tried it out a bit and it's not working so I'm going back and trying your solution here above.

I'm on the

 sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mnt/gamez 

Step. It's saying

chown: invalid group: 'sylvia:sylvia'

Re: [SOLVED] New ext4 drive automounted in fstab, no write permissions

everything seems to be working fine in Dolphin now however in steam I am getting Disk write errors, so this may be a steam issue now ?

EDIT: I've just cleared the drive out and starting over, something is done wrong here for sure..
