/home not recognized after hardware change

Sorry to start this up again but I'm having folder permission problems -

I create a new folder on my StorageDrive and I can't paste anything into this new folder or create a new folder in it either.

I don't have any problem adding files to folders that are already in the /StorageDrive, so for some reason I am not being allowed ownership of folders that I create.

Here are the permissions of an existing folder (temp linux) and the new one (tester) -

Code: [Select]

drwxr-xr-x   4 hondo hondo   4096 Feb 12 07:40 Temp_Linux/
d---rwx---+  2 hondo hondo   4096 Feb 13 19:02 tester/

Any ideas?

Thanks -

You own the folder, so you can choose any permissions you like. Right click it and choose Properties --> Permissions. Check your config files for Dolphin to see what's been changed. Normally your new directories should be created with permissions;

drwxrwxr-x

or
 
drwxr-xr-x

How do I check my config files for Dolphin?

When I right click & then check permissions everything is grayed out, the owner forbiddden.

Trying to stay positive..........

Ok, I have found that when creating a new folder/directory it is doing something wonky.

Here is a screenie of both normal & advanced permission boxes of an existing folder -



And a new folder that I just created -

Ok, I just learned how to change the folders permissions...........



But why isn't Dolphin creating folders with normal permissions?

[Hondo]

I have found something else-

I opened Konqueror and it can create folders but cannot copy/paste into the newly created folders either, so unless Konqueror & Dolphin are related, it seems to be a problem that is independent of either app.

Well I think that I figured it out myself-

I went into the root directory and changed the permissions of the /StorageDrive-

The "Owner (default)" was unchecked so I gave it full permissions.

Now I can create folders with full permissions & do what I want in there.

Never mind. I just looked, and nothing there. I really don't know what's up with your set up. Strangely enough, on some of my folders I get the same thing you get with Advanced Permissions, and others I get this;

Filesystem without ACL support ?

I thought you changed the ownership of the partition to your normal user, with the chown -R hondo:hondo /StorageDrive command, earlier.

All my partitions are either ext3 or ext4. This is the first time I've seen the white background style Advanced Permissions window. Until today I've always seen the style shown above.

Really don't know ... never used any GUI for permissions ... ls -l is my tool  

As I see in the white background dialog, it is possible to add permissions for additional users, individually ... IIRC this is supported from ACL feature (access control list), available as mount option acl. see man mount and man acl.

cat /proc/mounts will show the acl option, if used.
On my system acl is enabled for ext4, but not for ext2, do not have ext3 fs right now ...

Don't know what I'm looking for. As far as I know, ACL is a Windows thing.

guess acl has been added after the time of your installation and before the time my installation ...
ACL is POSIX thing

My installation was Jan 29.2012, just before the official release was announced Feb 2. Same .iso image, I just happened to have early access... Neal and I were doing the testing for Pinoc..

I did- that's what is weird.
