I have a partition set aside as a general repository and one devoted to Iso as fstab shows:
/dev/sda3 /mnt/Public vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb5 /mnt/Iso reiserfs defaults 0 0
In the past, there was never any issue accessing/reading/writing in them. Now, only root can write Public though I can read the files. I have no problem with Iso.
root:# ls -l /mnt
drwxrwxr-x 7 root users 552 Jul 27 09:07 Iso/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 8192 Jul 29 09:24 Public/
I have tried
root:# chown -R bruce:users /mnt/Public
chown: changing ownership of '/mnt/Public/bookmarks1707.html': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of '/mnt/Public/Test.abw': Operation not permitted
chown: changing ownership of '/mnt/Public': Operation not permitted
vector://mnt/Public
root:# chown -R :users /mnt/Public
chown: changing group of '/mnt/Public/bookmarks1707.html': Operation not permitted
chown: changing group of '/mnt/Public/Test.abw': Operation not permitted
chown: changing group of '/mnt/Public': Operation not permitted
The only thing I can think of is a couple of months ago, I lost sda and had to replace it.
Is there anything I can do do to get it writable by every body?
