I have a couple of external disks that I formatted in XFS using F11, I think for data backup. Now with a new F 18 installation, when I plug
in the drive, the disk icons appear on the desktop, but when I try to access them, I get an error message stating that the contents cannot be displayed due to not having the necessary permissions.

A google search of the archives has not turned up anything so far.

Any suggestions?


If you did a fresh install most likely your UID/GID has changed.  Older versions started at 500/500 while the latest versions start at 1000/1000 when users are created.

If you do an "ls -l" at the top of the mount point (directory) you'll see numbers where the username and goupname are normally displayed.

Simply do, as root and from the mount point

chown -R username:groupname
Thanks very much. Will try that.

cheers, Paul
