Try changing the permissions of /dev/sda*.. I suggest you do a |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
chmod 0666 /dev/sda* |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
and then try to mount it.. If it succeeds then change the ownership to |
| 26 |
group disk |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
chown root:disk /dev/sda* |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
and the permissions to 660 (rw/rw) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
chmod 0660 /dev/sda* |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I'm not sure whether this will help but it's worth giving a try.. |
