NOT solved - ownership of external usb h/d
Tonight at midnight my backup of my home directory failed, and on
investigation why it couldn't make a directory i found that i didn’t
have the right permissions. On further checking I found that the
ownership had reverted to root:root, so I rebooted.
When everything had come back online I checked the ownership again and
found that it was still root:root, so I went through all the steps
that I outlined in the SOLVED email which reverted it to root:boztu
and I was able to do my backup manually from the cli.
What do I have to do please to get the permissions to =stick= at
root:boztu so that my backups can continue and a new file be created
on the external usb h/d at midnight each night?
Sharon.
