Booted from USB, cannot mount/access other hard drives!!
I have booted up from openSUSE 11.3 on a USB stick. When i go into
Dolphin (the file explorer) and try to open a harddrive, I get the
error:
Code:
--------------------
An error occurred while accessing 'MyHardDrive', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action,result)
--------------------
What can I do?

(I can be dense sometimes) I want to mount /dev/sdb. And I suppose I'd like to name it "Extra_Storage". As for the path to it, does it make sense to put it in something like /dev or /media? It's an internal HD that's set to cable select. Thanks! One quick question: in the "fdisk -l" it says that disk is 160GB, but Dolphin lists it as 149GB.

Formated size is different then RAW size since formating takes up space. fdisk is telling you the RAW size and Dolphin is telling you the formated size. -- gogalthorp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gogalthorp's Profile: http://forums.opensuse.org/member.php?userid=37208 View this thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=446541

Add a line to /etc/fstab like this (I'm assuming it's ext4, edit as
necessary if different)
Code:
--------------------
/dev/sdb1 /EXTRA_STORAGE ext4 defaults 0 0
--------------------
Now in a su - terminal do
Code:
--------------------
mkdir /EXTRA_STORAGE
--------------------
Reboot
(we may have to do some ownership stuff, but see)

Why /dev/sdb instead of using the by-id? 2. It is a physically different HD, does this matter (still use sdb1)? 3. Why is the "check" column 0 0?

1. They do persist across reboots. But you created the folder again, or a different one. 2. This happened because you created the folder manually, as root. New folders have a default permission order of rwxr-xr-x, this means others than the owner cannot write in the folder. -- - Athlon X2 6.0 GHz, 8 GB, 30 GB SSD, 1.5 TB, 9800GT, 11.2 + KDE4 4.4 - ASUS K70IO laptop, GT120M-1GB, 4 GB, 64 GB SSD, 11.3 + KDE4 4.5 +LXDE *Anything that can go wrong.... will teach us* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Knurpht's Profile: http://forums.opensuse.org/member.php?userid=783 View this thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=446541
