What's the output of 'lsblk -f' and 'mount'?

cfr · 2013-11-07 00:58:15

Are you trying to write as a normal user or as root?

What filesystem is on sda2?

Shockwave0 · 2013-11-07 01:03:54

as user with sudo

What's the output 'mount | grep sda2'? I would like to see what mount options are you using for this partition.

Shockwave0 · 2013-11-07 01:14:59

[shockwave@ArchLinux ~]$ mount | grep sda2
/dev/sda2 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
[shockwave@ArchLinux ~]$

karol · 2013-11-07 01:17:16

What's the output of

sudo touch /mnt/foo

Shockwave0 · 2013-11-07 01:21:39

that created a text file foo in /dev/sda2

Were you trying to add directories to /dev/sda2? That's not how it works.
Try

sudo mkdir /mnt/bar

Shockwave0 · 2013-11-07 01:25:20

in /etc/sudoers is this right ?

root ALL=(ALL) ALL
shockwave ALL=(ALL) ALL

It's OK.

When exactly did you get "Error creating directory: Permission denied" error? What and how were you trying to do?

i think its becuse im not runing the file manager with sudo maybe ?

Shockwave0 · 2013-11-07 01:34:00

[shockwave@ArchLinux ~]$ sudo pcmanfm

You get this error when trying to create a file or directory in /mnt or in /dev/sda2?

Shockwave0, that picture is too large for these forums. You need to put it up on a picture hosting site and link back to it.

It's pretty light at just 36K but you're right, the size is way off.

You should be able to create files and directories w/o sudo.
Shockwave0, please create a directory in /mnt, unmount sda2 from /mnt and mount it to that subdirectory of /mnt.

jasonwryan · 2013-11-07 01:54:42

And chown the created directory to your user...

sudo umount /dev/sda2 /mnt

and now the /dev/sda2 partition shows up on the left panel

without sudo

i dont know how

karol · 2013-11-07 02:09:08

# chown <your user name>:users <mountpoint>

e.g. I would run

# chown karol:users /mnt/bar

You need to read some manuals :-)

Then learn to search. If you are going to stick with Arch, you will need to cultivate that desire/skill; help vampirism is not welcome here.
