Hello<br><br>Using gParted I have created a new partition on the extended partition on my second drive (this second drive was my original drive before I got a larger one and have kept it in the computer without reformatting it as there was data on there that I wanted to keep).<br>
<br>I want to use this new partition to keep photos in along with some html files that I use to view these photos. I also want all the accounts on my computer to be able to read, write, and execute files in this partition.<br>
<br>Though the partition (I have included it in the /etc/fstab file) shows up on the desktop after doing the commands below, I an unable to copy any files into photos01 let alone do anything else with this folder.<br><br>
<br>++++<br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ sudo mkdir -m 660 /media/photos01<br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ <br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ <br>ron@ron-desktop:~$ sudo mount
