Re: USB pen drives and KDE
I first repartitioned the drive as ext2 and tested it and it worked fine the
first time it was plugged in mounted as the correct user and group.but failed
the second getting mounted root:root
I then converted back to FAT32 and again it worked the first time. I unmounted
it, removed it, plugged it back in and it stopped working correctly again.
The device always gets mounted as user root group root and I can't chown
things away from root but I can write things to the disk as root.
I am totally confused as to what is going on. I can't figure out if the disk
isn't being correctly unmounted and therefore getting corrupted or if
something else is going on.
Please help, this is driving me nuts.
