Re: [Trisquel-users] User rights

Check what your external hard drives are formatted as. If they're formatted  
as something like ext which supports "owners", there could be a user ID  
mismatch. The best way to avoid this that I'm aware of is to use a filesystem  
that doesn't support assigning "owners" to files, e.g. NTFS (kind of  
counter-intuitive to be using a Microsoft FS, but it's the best choice I'm  
aware of for this particular use-case). But short of that, you can check your  
user ID and make it so that the "owner" indicated for all the files is your  
user ID.
