I have a Windows partition which I can easily access using Nautilus.
It automatically gets mounted at /media
deel@ubuntu:/media$ ls -l
total 16
drwx------ 1 deel deel 16384 2011-11-16 10:33 New Volume
deel@ubuntu:/media$ sudo chmod 755 New\ Volume/
deel@ubuntu:/media$ ls -l
total 16
drwx------ 1 deel deel 16384 2011-11-16 10:33 New Volume
If you notice in above even after changing permissions the permissions have not changed. What could be the reason and how can I change the permissions?
Here is my /etc/fstab
file:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk / ext4 loop,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk none swap loop,sw 0 0
