Please paste the output of cat /etc/fstab and ls -hAl /DIR_OF_THE_HDD_MOUNT_POINTS You need to make the users member of a group that has permission (e.g. add a group "users"), IOW the mount point dirs might have to be changed from "root root" to "root users" (assumed you add a group "users" before doing this). Or change permission for "others", IOW allow "rwx" for "others". > Problem #2. One of the drives is formatted in the reisefs. The system > doesn't recognize that fs. Even if you shouldn't like Google, please google for "Debian reiserfs" or similar, there are tons of hits that explain how to do it. OTOH reconsider to backup the data, reformat the partition(s) and restore the data. The coder of reiserfs got 15 years to life imprisonment for killing his wife. The code isn't maintained anymore.
