[64studio-devel] HDD: Write permissions for ordinary

[guerrier]

Hi

what is the format for your HDs?

 If you are trying to write to ntfs, i suggest that you install Fuse
and ntfs-3g.  Try to find a repo with the latest version of both
applications.  you can find the latest ntfs-3g here ( deb
http://www.vobcopy.org/mirror/elive/ elive main efl elive ).

My other suggest is to use chown to gain owner's access of the HD.
this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chown) explains how to use it
and has examples.

Once you have the proper driver and permission, you can add the drive in fstab.
