I can't access my files in my data partitions and I don't understand why. How can I get normal rw access to my files in my data partitions? For example, vlc gives me:
File reading failed: VLC could not open the file "/media/data01/Music/Music_Library/Jeff_Buckley/Grace/02-Grace.mpc" (Permission denied). Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///media/data01/Music/Music_Library/Jeff_Buckley/Grace/02-Grace.mpc'. Check the log for details.
Notice that I've bind-mounted some directories of /media/data01 in fstab to my home folder. I have no problem in accessing the same file with vlc through /home/luca/Music/Music_Library/Jeff_Buckley/Grace
. Also notice that some default software doesn't complain permission problems (e.g. Totem with the same file accessing through /media/data01/Music/Music_Library/Jeff_Buckley/Grace/02-Grace.mpc
). Also Disk Usage Analyser (baobab) doesn't show me anything (in addition to complaining for lost+found):

I've checked my permissions and it seems it's all ok (apart from that Bad message for which I'm going to post another question).

My /dev/sda
is partitioned as in the gparted screenshots.
Thanks, Luca
bash: ../VidsToFrames.sh: Permission denied
, either through/home/luca
or/media/data01/
. I can add that I moved all my files to this new pc from an external hdd, where I had backed up stuff usingrsync -a
from my old pc. Permissions seem ok on this pc though.user
option in/etc/fstab
which impliesnoexec
. But I can't figure out what's the reason for the issues posted in the question.
