[SOLVED] Lost write permissions ~/ directory since migrating to F2FS

marko2010 · 2015-06-01 21:21:41

I recently moved my /home directory on to a partition that is formatted with the F2FS file system. Since doing that my regular user can no longer write to the ~/ directory even though the folder permissions look OK.

So my permissions for my /home/marko directory are:
drwx------ marko users
("marko" owning the directory)

And the partition it is located on is formatted with f2fs with the following mount options in fstab:

defaults,rw,nofail,noatime

What are the permissions on /home?

Okay, that looks fine.

What is the output of

touch /home/marko/test-file

Thanks, I just realized problem is actually due to user error. I'm so used to my usual shell starting me in my user directory that I did not realize the new shell I was using was actually starting me in the "/" directory (as a regular user). I'll mark this "solved," and my apologies for the wild goose chase.
