I have a netbook with a small SSD and I recently decided to switch the home partition to a 16gb SD card that I permanently leave plugged in. So I tar'd my home directory and transferred it to external storage, mounted the SD card as /home and untar'd /home to the card. Now I am unable to write to my own /home directory as a user. I did a chown -R, made sure my user's home partition was set correctly, but it is still not writing.
Are there any other steps I can take? I can't boot into KDE now because I am unable to write to /home (even though permissions say I can).

You could try booting to arch installer and do chown there...:)

Ugh viewing web pages in links is so ghetto.
Is the arch installer located in my hdd installation (and where)? I don't have an external cd drive for this netbook.
Thanks for your help.

Is the media mounted in a way that users can write to it?
archlinux - please read this and this — twice — then ask questions.

I'm using a flash drive to install arch on my netbook...:)

see if the folder has owner your username. if not chown -R your_username:users /home/your_username
next type use -p options from tar, when creating and extracting arhive
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Already did this, no go (in OP).

Was afraid that I'd have to dl this. I used the usb install too, but don't have it handy.
