Is your user in the storage group?

Dogs1985 · 2009-07-31 08:11:37

how to check? can you guide me?

# groups [username]
it display "audio users" only.

but i really no problem with my pendrive, only problem with this usb hdd only. i plugin pendrive, the permission is 777, but usb hdd 600.

add a storage group is that a command # usermod -a -G storage username
i already added, but still not working with me.

You must be in the storage group to mount drives. To add a user to a group take a look at the wiki.

Hello Dogs1985!

Is the udev rules is okay, anyway ?

Have you tried using hal instead? It might be easier.

Dogs1985 · 2009-08-01 07:10:13

i just copy the rules from arch wiki. i don't know correct or wrong. can you show me udev rules?
if using hal, how to set? is that easy to set?

You could also try to install ntfs-3g, maybe its a problem related to NTFS.

i already install ntfs-3g, i use "mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/usbhd" with no problem read and write.
how do i add to udev rules?
