Not exactly. There are various ways to implement delete permission. You did not mention the filesystem of the external drive, which would narrow things down (run df -Th|grep "Lacie" when it is mounted). However, if it's NTFS, there is an explicit delete permission (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419). Another possibility is that you have content in Downloads that you do not own, and the sticky bit (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419) is set on your backup destination. Run: ls -ld /media/Lacie/daryl and find ~ -not -user daryl Matt Flaschen
It was ext3. Currently undergoing dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb1 . Not that I gave up on the project. I figured might as well encrypt the drive with the contents /home if it's going to be sitting around unattended.
Moving a bit off-topic, I was planning on formatting back to ext3. Or would ext2 be a better choice? The drive is only used for backups. All linux here.
