Title: Cannot write to CF card as user 'zaurus'
Post by: grabri on September 23, 2004, 11:03:58 am

I have an old Lexar 96MB CF that I've been trying to use on my recently acquired C860.

I reformatted it as follows

# su
# umount /mnt/cf
# mkfs.msdos /dev/hda1
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf

So far everything is tickety-boo

However.....

I can only write to the CF as user 'root' not as 'zaurus'

I've tried

# su
# cd /mnt/cf
# chmod 777 .

but this doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions?

Cheers.

The solution to the above was to format the card from a PC. Still don't fully understand what went wrong tho'

maybe a reboot would help too?
