Permission Denied On USB Hard Drive
in [UK Linux]
|
From: Count de Monet on 9 Apr 2010 10:09 I'm trying to move some .jpg & .mp3 files from a USB hard drive that is formatted under MAC OSX (0xaf) to a Windows Vista Laptop. I am using a Knoppix 6.2 live cd. Knoppix sees the laptop hard drive as System /media/sda2 Vista /media/sda3 Recovery /media/sda1 and the USB hard drive as disk2s1 I can see files on the laptop's hard drive but when I try to access the USB drive I get 'Permission Denied' Can the files on this drive be accessed? Thanks for any help or suggestions

IIRC Knoppix mounts everything as read only on the desktop(as it's used for forensics). If you right click the drive, click properties, then look at the device tab and unclick read only. You may then find you have to unmount and mount it again for it to writeable and the same with the laptop drive.

When I do this I get: rootfs on / type rootfs (rw,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime) /dev/sr0 on /mnt-system type iso9660 (ro,relatime) tmpfs on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=1048576k) /dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro,relatime) unionfs on /UNIONFS type aufs (rw,relatime,si=ed1c9d99,noplink) unionfs on /home type aufs (rw,relatime,si=ed1c9d99,noplink) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,relatime) tmpfs on /UNIONFS/var/run type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k) tmpfs on /UNIONFS/var/lock type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k) tmpfs on /UNIONFS/var/log type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=102400k) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=1048576k) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=20480k) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=1048576k) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=1777) /dev/sdb1 on /media/sdb1 type hfsplus (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,umask=22,uid=1000,gid=1000,nls=utf8) > > 2) If it is mounted try reading it as root. This has no effect, I still get 'Permission Denied'
