    Solved: cant write to ext3 disk

    I'm having a bit of a sanity check here. I've been been triple booting hardy, gutsy, and winders, but since I haven't actually booted into anything but hardy lately I decided to go another path. Each os was on a different physical hard drive, and I've removed all partitions from those drives and formatted each one as ext3. I've been able to read and write to them just fine until today, but now I cant write unless I open as root. I've been screwing with my fstab for about an hour now, and I'm getting a bit frustrated. Here's my fstab:

    Code:
    # /dev/sda1
    UUID=8b383351-92e2-498e-abf6-eb1a5252bd35 / ext3 nouser,relatime,errors=remount-ro,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 1
    # /dev/sda5
    UUID=c91e6b56-1cc7-4a5e-aa50-1581a6b42d48 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,utf8,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0
    #UUID=4615-5BEF /mnt/vfat auto nouser,atime,auto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
    UUID=23151180-ddac-46e6-b0d9-1735e0a20f95 /mnt/500G auto user,atime,auto,rw,nodev,exec,nosuid 0 0
    none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=664 0 0
    UUID=cf77508a-8165-4e2b-af4d-4ad8b27b773d /mnt/320G auto user,atime,auto,rw,nodev,exec,nosuid 0 0
    The two in question are at mnt/500G and mnt/320G. That's 820 G of storage that I can't write to right now. It's pretty annoying. Any suggestions?

    If you've been playing around with your fstab and it has proved no use, I'd suggest you look at permissions in /mnt - any luck there?

      For those two drives, in your fstab file, try replacing all the setting with defaults
      So,
      UUID=23151180-ddac-46e6-b0d9-1735e0a20f95 /mnt/500G auto user,atime,auto,rw,nodev,exec,nosuid 0 0
      UUID=cf77508a-8165-4e2b-af4d-4ad8b27b773d /mnt/320G auto user,atime,auto,rw,nodev,exec,nosuid 0 0
      becomes,
      UUID=23151180-ddac-46e6-b0d9-1735e0a20f95 /mnt/500G defaults 0 0
      UUID=cf77508a-8165-4e2b-af4d-4ad8b27b773d /mnt/320G defaults 0 0

        Geez, sometimes I just want to slap myself. It was permissions in mnt. Thank you, Toad.
