I have formatted my sl-c3200's hard drive as ext2, and moved back the files that were on it before, when it was in fat (dos?). Since then, I have trouble dealing with files as normal zaurus user, and have to do things as root. I have tried chown -R zaurus /hdd3/ but it doesn't change anything...
Any suggestions? |

try moving the files off the disk as root, then becoming a normal user and copying them back. chowning the directory to a normal user makes the directory the user's, but not the files/dirs inside of it. Copying the files back to it as a normal user should solve that issue.

That's why he added the -R option, which does recursively make all directories/files belong to the user (unless I'm mistaken). I always do chown -R user:group, but your syntax looks fine (assuming your data is mounted at /hdd3).
You may also want to check your fstab file to see if it is mounting it read-only or something like that. |

Any suggestions?  if you have installed the tetsu kernel without also installing the associated modules, then i have observed the same behaviour. after installing the modules, all become as it should.... |

Thanks for your suggestions.
- I'd rather not copy all files off and on again...  - I already had the tetsu kernel modules installed. I'll look further into the issue. What would be the normal mounting command options to have in rc.rofilesys? I have "mount -t ext2 -o noatime /dev/${IDE1}3 /hdd3" thanks for your help |
