| SUBJECT | Subject: [hangout] Permission Change to a Mount Point?
|
I have a mount point for my MAC hfs partition,mac, which mounts at boot.
[root-at-localhost joev]# cd /
[root-at-localhost /]# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 43 root root 79 Jun 7 10:07 mac
I wanted to give myself permission to write to this partition so I don't
always have to work as root. I thought I would just change the group and
then give the group write privileges. But I can't change the group:
[root-at-localhost /]# chgrp joev mac
[root-at-localhost /]# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 43 root root 79 Jun 7 10:07 mac
So I figured that I was just change owner; but can't do that either:
[root-at-localhost /]# chown joev mac
[root-at-localhost /]# ls -al
drwxr-xr-x 43 root root 79 Jun 7 10:07 mac
I don't understand what's happening here. What do I need to do to give
mac write permission under the user joev?
Thanks
Joe
