Package: fatsort
Version: 1.3.365-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm pretty sure FatSort used to work as unprivileged user.
Right now, it doesn't work anymore.
----------------------------------------------------
User:
fatsort /dev/sdh
openFileSystem: Permission denied!
sortFileSystem: Failed to open file system!
main: Failed to sort file system!
----------------------------------------------------
Root:
fatsort /dev/sdh
File system: FAT32.
Sorting directory /
----------------------------------------------------
Bug or a feature?
This happens on Jessie. I just installed 1.3.365 from Stretch and it doesn't
work either.
Thanks.
Jérôme

Hi,
this does not have anything to do with fatsort itself but is a general
permission issue on your system. fatsort "only" needs write access to
the device that you want to sort, and by default normal users don't get
that much permission.
There should be lots of tutorials/howtos and other docs on the Internet
about how to configure these permissions.
