Re: WD Passport commands

Show all headers | View raw

I used mkntfs to reformat a WD Passport. Its size is 1 Tb, and it took
10 hours to reformat. 

I found that reformatting changes the UUID. But when I provided the new
UUID to fstab, it automounts just fine. It is mounted on a directory
owned by user, but it automatically reverts to root. 

Is there any good reason why I should not make its parent directory
(/media) owned by owner rather than root?

As a sanity check, I created a file in its partition. But it looks like
this:

    -rwxrwxrwx  1 root   root    5 Nov 16 14:56 test

I certainly did not want it to be executable or owned by root, but the
commands chown and chmod have no effect on it.
