Mounting question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a mount problem. I have several usb sticks and a usb external hard drive and am using Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. When I mount any of them using either mount or pmount or allowing them to automount I can't copy anything to them from the console except as root (sudo to be exact). Also things like vmware or virtualbox do not have access to them. The command I use is:

sudo mount -t <type> -o rw,umask=000 <device> <dir>

Substituting appropriate types and device and directory. Regardless of what I have tried the directory always comes up with permissions of rwxr-xr-x with owner root:root so that only root can write to the drive.

How do I solve this so that I as a user can write to the drive from the command line?
