Hi, I have an external hard disk connected through usb, which though I am able to mount, but I am unable to access the drive without superuser privileges. Running mount command shows the following:
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/maxtor type ntfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=divkis01) But when I try to access I see the following: $: ls /mnt/maxtor/ ls: cannot open directory /mnt/maxtor/: Permission denied I tried changing the owner but I see the following: $:sudo chown divkis01 /mnt/maxtor/ chown: changing ownership of `/mnt/maxtor/': Read-only file system BTW I do have sudo access (in case someone suggests that I might not have sudo permission to change the ownership). I have tried other methods as well (opening the nautilus and tried changing the access permissions as well using its GUI) but I see same permission issue. Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance, Divick
