From a regular user, I can mount and read /dev/hda3, /dev/hda2, and /dev/sda1 but I can't write on them even though I put the options user and rw.

On what exact folder are you trying to write...?
is hda3 a NTFS partition???

Please give the output of this command

Code:

fdisk -l

Does it work after you change the permissions on the drive's mount point?

Code:

chmod 775 /media/pendrive

?

ok, so your trying to write on hda2/3 and none give you rights?
have you tryed to change rights on a specific folder?

Code:

chmod o+w /mnt/pendrive

**a thing** · 02-09-2005

That worked for the pendrive but not for the partitions (yes, I changed the path at the end).

When I look at your fstab, I see that the /linspire and /files are in the "/" I had a similar issue when attempting to get things with the correct rights...
have you tryed to mount the "linspire & files" an the mnt folder? like this

/mnt/linspire?

Advise me if that works... we'll find another way

**a thing** · 02-09-2005

That doesn't work.
