How are you mounting it? What permissions did you assign to the mount point?

Hello there. It's mounting automatically and it looks like it's mounting in the media folder.. So the folder where it mounts in effets the whole drives permissions? Letme go see what the permissions are.

[Hlingler]

If I recall correctly, default permissions is rw (read-write), BUT the standard /media/ folder is drwxr-xr-x root root.

Okay i'm really having issues here. I tried to change everything from the media folder down to the folder itself on the second drive but the ettings don't seem to be sticking. And when i try to click on to pply the settings to the files inside the whole folder it resets everything...Thi i strting to irritate me *LOL*

How do i do the whole thing right in the terminal? Right now i am opening a root file browser which does not seem to be working properly...

As far as I am aware, you cannot change permissions on a mounted mount point. You would need to un-mount the drive, then change permissions on the mount point, then re-mount.

Try the suggestions in the thread linked by Francisco_PR. If that doesn't help, post back here (or there).

Hmmm...Okay looking over my own fstap i see that my second hard drive is not eve listed. Also i can't find the uid for it anywhere. HEre's my ftap info...

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
UUID=28b0c5a3-faee-4ffc-98b9-cfffeb6b49ee /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0

OK, assuming that the second HDD is not already part of one of the Logical Volumes (did you include it in any during install?), then add a mount point and an fstab entry. I simply made one like this (as root user):
mkdir /mnt/sdb/

And fstab entry:
/dev/sdb /mnt/sdb auto default,rw,users 0 0

I had it unchecked during install but it's mounting when i boot up with no entry for it in fstab.

I had to go back to Ubuntu for the time being because there were some files on the drive i needed to be able to modify right away. I will come back to Fedora when 10 comes out and give it another go. Maybe that one i will have better luck with :-)
