I formatted my external ext3 372GB USB hard drive in ubuntu and now want to
use it
in Centos. I made sure that my group/user numbers were the same. I was not
able to write to the mounted USB hard drive (HD). I suspected selinux and
shut it of and I was able to copy the file! I set selinux back to enforce and
rebooted. I like the security features of selinux.
I tried:
1) chcon -v
2) restorecon -Rv /media/disk
3) cp -P
and still am not able to write to the USB HD. The sad part is I can delete
files from the USB HD. See forum post for details.
I tried it in fedora 9 and it is able to write to the USB HD
I tried an 32GB USB memory stick in Centos 5.2 and it worked!
I am wondering why it doesn't work for my USB HD? The only difference is the
the size.
Your help would be much appreciated.
