I have an Ubuntu 14.04 based Media Center and I store the media files on a USB HDD. I add files to drive directly on a Mac so I have it formatted as FAT32.
The problem is that after reconnecting the drive to the Ubuntu, it mounts at /media/user/drivename
and only the root user is allowed access. I need several applications to have full access to this drive. I can change file permissions in the terminal but it doesn't change because of the /media/user
location. I am able to manually sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/drivename
& sudo chmod 777 /media/drivename
but the mount point changes each time.
Is there a way to make this drive always mount where root and other applications have access?
sudo blkid
. It should give you the UUIDs of all the partitions. From there we can build a correct entry for/etc/fstab
. Edit the question to add the output.
