(SOLVED) Permission Denied

Google · 2010-06-11 18:04:56

I don't seem to have access to my /Storage partition. The partition is an ext4 Linux partition I made when I installed Linux.

[XXXXXX@Archlinux ~]$ groups
lp wheel hal video audio optical storage power users

HAL starts up as a daemon...

How can I fix this?

I'm quite new here, but if understand permissions right, with 755 you should be able to enter (execute) the directory.

/EDIT: With "I can't access to /Storage" you mean you can't enter the directory or you can't write in it?

I can see inside, but I can't make a folder, or edit anything. I guess I have read access but no write access.

I thought so.

That's because you don't own that directory (it's owned by root). Check this line in the stat output:

Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)

chown

Thanks, I did chown <username> /storage

and it seems to have fixed it. I hope it remembers it, thanks a lot!

It will remember it. The uid and gid are stored in the ext4 filesystem itself. All new files and directories will also be owned by you, but anything there before you did chown will not be. You can fix that by running that chown command again and with the -R flag.
