I discovered something this morning. If I double-click on jjj with the padlock on in Thunar on the desktop, even though its properties say it is owned by root:root, it opens. And there is the Movies folder (no padlock), and I can see and read/write all the files in it. To get this odd success I had to mount just the /media share. Trying to mount /media/jjj/Movies directly still fails. And I don't understand why jjj has a padlock on it in Thunar and is owned bu root:root, yet I can open it as jjj. I am also still curious why I cannot mount /media/jjj/Movies. The only explanation I can come up with is that it is a mount point, where the other shares are permanent folders. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
