    Partition access

    Hi i've posted before, i'm still quite noobish but am learning slowly. My problems this, I have a partition which I think i've managed to successfully mount, I think im accessing it correctly ( "system:/media/hda5" ). The problem im having it moving files to this partition, its a ext3 partition and I would like to store files seperate from the operating system in there, e.g. music files and stuff. Any ideas how I get full access in noob terms please

    Thanks for all your support.

    If the partition is mounted, then you'll need to remount it in order to change permissions. The command (assuming your mount point is /media/hda5) is:
    Code:
    sudo mount /media/hda5 -o remount,rw
    You should then be able to read and write to the partition.

      Still no luck, I selected "system menu" selected "Storage media" and then selected the partition I wanted to access, I tried dropping an image in the partition and got an error message saying "Access Denied"

        You should try with these options in /etc/fstab :
        user,exec,auto instead the defaults one.
        Save the file, unmount the partition and remount it.

        In code lines, it's like this ;
        Code:
        kdesu kate /etc/fstab
        Find the line with the mount point you want to change, replace "defaults" by what I gave.
        Save the file and exit kate
        Code:
        sudo umount /media/hda5
        mount /media/hda5
        Then you should be able to write inside.

        Hope it helps
