As an update, I was able to add the device under the
(file-system)
data type to the system config.scm file. But the drive is set
read-only. I tried using `chown -R $user:$user /path/to/folder/`
but
it shows that the drive and (subsequently) its files are
read-only. How do I mount the drive so that it's writable?
For a disk to be writable:
- The media itself has to be writable.
- The disk must be mounted with the "rw" option. This is the
default, so unless you’ve specified "ro", this should be fine.
- The permissions of the filesystem on the disk must allow
writing. When mounted, the disk shadows the mountpoint, so you
need to chown/chmod *after* mounting, not before.
The last point is most likely your issue. You need to use `sudo
chown' in this case.
