Public bug reported: I have a external USB harddisk with the following partitions: 1) ext3 (ca. 50 GB) 2) vfat (20 GB)
When I plug this drive in I can only write to the vfat partintion as a normal user. The ext3 partition can only be mounted read-only. There's also been a question on Answers: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2436 But the solution found there is merely a workaround. Note that I have another 160GB ext3 drive which mounts without problems and gives write access. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ext3 partitions on external usb drives can only be written to by root https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222626 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
