Description fabien henon 2012-05-10 22:40:49 CEST

Description of problem:

I have a partition on my hd which I cannot open

It is a btrfs partition

Here is the output of blkid

/dev/sda8: LABEL="data_aspire" UUID="7338fa5b-13fe-45c3-9739-9ae88ac8d8dd" UUID_SUB="a413df8c-49ab-4444-8d53-1cf04b39b7f9" TYPE="btrfs" 

When I want to open it, the root password is required

After that, I get a message : You are  not allowed to  see the contents of the folder (see enclosed picture)

Here is the output of /etc/mtab on/dev/sda8
/dev/sda8 /run/media/fabien/data_aspire btrfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nospace_cache 0 0

Should there be a user in the options ?


I can open the btrfs partition as root

I can open it without root password from Mint


I can open another ext4 partition
Here is the cat/etc/mtab :

/dev/sda7 /run/media/fabien/Mint ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Hi,

I guess so, there is the rw options in my /etc/mtab

As a hint,this is my /etc/mtab of my btrfs partition when I use another distro 
/dev/sda8 /media/data_aspire btrfs rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks 0 0

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,

Can I ask a really basic/silly question here.

When you created the btrfs partition did you make sure that you made it's root readable by ordinary users? Or yourself?

For example, if your btrfs partition is mounted on /mnt/btrfs then, as root, what does a ls -ld /mnt/btrfs output?

You may just need something like chmod 755 /mnt/btrfs

Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution.

Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 4 or current cauldron, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible with the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information.

Closing as OLD.
