General Support - Making /isosrc writable by user? dwa - 15.07.2006, 06:50 Uhr Titel: Making /isosrc writable by user?
Hi... I have a USB external hard drive setup with a Kanotix *.iso, a knoppix.img for home, and a unionrw.img on /dev/sda1.
When I boot using fromiso= from this USB drive it mounts /dev/sda1 under /isosrc. The root user can read/write files in this location, but the knoppix (or any other user) cannot - the root user can't even create a directory on sda1 and modify ownership to a user account.
How do allow a user to have read/write privileges on this external drive partition? Thanks for any help.

What about keeping the user data on a second partition?

Yes... That is a possibility... I could create sda1 to hold the KANOTIX*.iso and knoppix.img and unionrw.img, and sda2 to hold all the user data, and sda3 for swap. But for simplicity and most optimum use of space, I would prefer to have everything on a single FAT32 partition, and have all the files there read/writable by users.
