[Solved] Encountered and resolved an fstab issue

Postby mark9117 » Mar 13th, '15, 03:23

I did a quick search for this and didn't see anything related. If I missed it, I apologize for wasting your time.

At any rate, I installed a 3rd hard drive in my system just now (3Tb Seagate). It formatted and mounted okay in discdrake, but it was read only. I looked at the fstab entry and all seemed okay. Cut to the chase: the entry was:

Code: Select all
# Entry for /dev/sdc1 :
UUID=4934d87e-5603-44e4-8e10-7aebc30b104d /mnt/photos ext4 relatime acl 1 2


I resolved it by editing the end of it to read:
Code: Select all
# Entry for /dev/sdc1 :
UUID=4934d87e-5603-44e4-8e10-7aebc30b104d /mnt/photos ext4 acl,relatime 1 2


Not sure why the jumble with "acl,relatime" but it caused a read oly issue.

EDIT: May have spoken to soon. It's still showing that I have no access. Working on it....

EDIT EDIT: Managed to change permissions (as root) on the mounted partitions which I was not able to do earlier.
Not really sure what was going on. We'll see if it survives a reboot.
Let's just reboot everything all the time.
