New question #48697 on Ubuntu Eee:

Drive permissions problems after Ubuntu eee installationI installed Ubuntu eee on my 900 and have been running it successfully. In the process, I've ended up with two extra /dev/sdb partitions, /sdb1 with around 2.1GB available, and /sdb2 /sdb5 - /sdb6 with around 13.4GB.

Ideally, I'd prefer a different partition arrangement, but I can live with this. However, I find I can't access either partition for saving files. I get a permissions warning on the sdb2-6 partition, and no access at all on the /sdb1 partition - I don't even get a cut/paste or create folder option in the menus. This IS with the partitions mounted, btw.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

This is the second time I installed Ubuntu eee - the first time I inadvertently ended up with the original Asus OS still on my machine. The second time seems to have resulted in a double install of Ubuntu eee, but I reformatted the sdb partitions, and seem to have erased the duplicate OS files.

Here's what I found in /etc/fstab with a text editor:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/sda1
UUID=76fd1844-92b1-4115-9763-031f110b9fb9 /               ext3    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /dev/sda5

/dev/sdc1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

Please note that I am a complete Linux newbie: I *will* need to be told each individual keystroke.

Thanks!
