Hi, before trying the above solution, you might first want to check the permissions on the folder *without* being mounted on, that is, the folder over which you will be mounting the other filesystem on, a good suggestion would be 1777 (sticky bit on) as it allows everyone to write on it but only the owner to delete something.Clod! wrote:Thanks mate,
it works: the shared directory is now mounted automatically on boot... but unfortunately is read only (only root can write).
Is there any solution for making it writable for "normal" user?
Thanks.
Clod!
My system:
Host: Win XP Pro
Guest: Ubuntu 8.04
VirtualBox: 1.6.0
Anyway, the mounted fs will have 'inherit' the permissions from the folder it is mounted on, so maybe you just need to changed it. Beware, once a fs is mounted on a folder, you wont 'see' neither what was on that folder nor the "original" permissions for that folder, you'll only 'see' the files and permissions in the mounted fs.
hope this helps.
