Hi All,
Since I installed Lenny from scratch a while ago, I have problems accessing
my external usb hd. It is plugged in to a usb port permanently, but I only turn
on the power if I need to access it (I use it for backup).
As I turn on the power, it reports as owned by root, but when still on Etch,
I formatted it like this:
# umount /dev/sde
# mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -j -m 1 -L Maxtor -T largefile -v /dev/sde
# tune2fs -c -1 /dev/sde
# chown manon:manon /media/Maxtor
I never had any problem like this with Etch, but now, even after repeatedly
changing ownership to manon, it still reports root as owner when I turn the
power on again.
Sometimes it even appears to be completely empty after I did
# chown manon:manon /media/Maxtor
and I cannot access any data at all anymore.
I also tried: '# chown manon:manon /dev/sde' but that didn't help either.
Any ideas what could cause this problem and how to solve it?
Thanks in advance, Manon.
Perhaps
# chown -r manon:manon /media/Maxtor
