------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-15-09 00:51 ------- I tried to open the momobay hd in command line, with superuser. It works with /mnt/removable. But I still can't access it with my normal user. So I tried to change the access rights of /mnt/removable (using Konqueror: rightclick on the folder and "properties"). Whatever I change, when I click "apply", there's an error message like "unable to change rights for /mnt/removable!" How is it that even the superuser couldn't change the access of this mounted file? Is it because the partition is NTFS? When I try to umount /mnt/removable, I get the error message: "device occupied!" (sorry I don't remember the exact words). I don't know if this is a bug or just a strange policy in mounting removable medias, but I guess newbies who try to plug & play their mass storage devices under normal user won't appreciate it :( -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: After a fresh install of Mdk 9.2 rc2, I tried to plug and access my external hard drive, a Momobay 40 Go with an USB connection. I use it with Windows XP, there is one partition in NTFS. When I turned on the device, an icon appeared on the desktop (Kde), but with the title "unmounted on sdb1" (sorry I don't remember the exact words). When I tried to "mount" it (right click with the mouse), I got the following error message: > Error - kio_devices_mounthelper > mount: type de sys. de fichiers erron�, otpion erron�e, super bloc > erron� sur /dev/sdb1, ou trop de syst�mes de fichiers mont�s Here is the line in fstab for the device: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/removable auto user,exec,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,kudzu,umask=0 0 0 I changed the argument "auto" with "ntfs", but after a reboot, the same error was still here :( When I boot my system, I quickly get a text utility for partitioning, as Mdk says it discovered a new partition (/sdb1). But it asks me what is the size of it and how to configure it ("linux native", "swap", etc.) I always cancel the process because I don't want all my datas to be erased!
