The only root being able to mount external media was in the FC1 early FC2 days. I know from experience that this works very well in FC3. Only difference is that I use KDE, i doubt however that that is the issue.Hi, My FC3 box can recognize my external usb harddisk when I plug it in. In gnome the icons pop up on the desktop but when I try to open it to read it, it tells me that I do not have the permission to do it!!!
I realize that only root can read the /media/whatever_stuff which is mounted.
I would like to enable it for a normal user. How do I do this? Thanks for the help
I mean I don't know the idea behind this but it's kind of silly that only root is able to read an external harddrive.
Put in your usb drive, give it a few seconds to get 'loaded'. Then run the following commands and reply back with the output:
# tail /var/log/messages
Good luck
