My. External. Hard. Drive. is. driving. me. nuts. on. Linux

It keeps mounting as read only and I can't delete any files even as root, it has about 10 MB free and is on the verge of getting corrupted. I have backed up the files and want to nuke it but its not letting me do that cause its read only. OMG I miss gparted at this moment... Which is actually not a bad idea brb


cd /mnt/
sudo mkdir exthd
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 (or whichever block device your external drive uses) /mnt/exthd
sudo chown user:user /mnt/exthd (where "user" is your username)

Once you do this, you should have full control over your external hard drive. Note that this is only a temporary mounting and that you'll have to do it again after you reboot.

I tired that but without the :user, I only typed my username once, whats the difference between doing it that way? This drive has issues, its filesystem shows up as unknown so put line through my last post, it is corrupt but I think found a work around, I can reformat it as a GPT drive apparently according to gparted so I am double checking I got everything and than I am going to nuke it here in about five minutes.

dcj123, I was never aware you could use nuclear weaponry on computer components?? :lol: :lol:
Seriously though, I've had my share of computer related problems as I now have a problem of my own..

Oh sorry, I have developed my own tech speech, format is nuke, backup is lifeboat, etc.

I think there is a screenshot of my Laptop's Desktop floating around here and I had folders named lifeboat 1 & 2 and thats backups from another computer.

Anyway the drive is formatted now so I guess nothing has made me unhappy today :D

I am hungry though and I have to cook so there is that to make me unhappy, cooking is lame.

Trust me, you need the second part. The first part is for your username, the second part is for your user group. Each username has its own group.

I woke up with an allergic reaction, possibly hives, on my left thigh. My mom thought it was working with the real Christmas tree the night before. I tried taking Benadryl and applying Cortizone, as well as putting ice on the area. It it only about halfway healed. The itching is gone, but it still feels warm to the touch, has a few bumps here and there, and stings slightly when I touch it. FML.

wow.
yes that video is funny.
and, yeah pitiful.. but funny.
i searched for a silly video because your guys walking backwards on the train track made me laugh.
i have NO CLUE what the German reference you make is????
the dude's name is Denny Hazen.
he made a cool rapper name for himself...Blazin Hazen (like he is hot..blazing, get it?
if there is some thing German there, i don't know, you are the language expert.

as far as you...again.... only respect for you.
actually, i find your music amazing for the most part.

but i would like peace for you..
so, i go , will not be back.
this is just one more nice thing i don't fit into in this universe.
i very very much liked the serenity and mind relax i found here.
thank you for the music world you showed me.

enjoy your new site, it is pretty cool.

bye
peace

(there also a pain in the ass on the thumbs to twist)

Had a bad therapy session today, I couldn't think of anything to say and my therapist said we should meet less and thats not really what I wanted. Therapy is the only thing that keeps me sane but because I never voice what I want, we are going to meet once a month :(

Damn my inability to voice my opinion...

I took a blank birth control pill 3 hours late today. I'm scared I'll raise my chance of pregnancy that way.
