Yes, I know. > > The ACL that's being added at the root directory of the mounted file > system is giving you extra read privileges on top of what the file > system permissions grant to you. I would ignore that for now. > The bad thing: These ACLs have higher pivilges than the filesystem and they inhibit the writing of the device. > If you want to write to a mounted ext4 file system where everything > is owned by root, just become root. sudo cp myfile /mount/hans/whatever/ No good idea. For myself it would be ok, but not for my customers. However, as I mentined before, I could either remove ACLs, or better just set the directory to the rights of the user manually. Howeverm the last thing is, what I would have been expected by the desktop environtment. Thus there are two optins: Either this is a bug or it is set by the developers to do as it does. Maybe some maintainer or developer (who might read this) might know more. Best regards Hans
