[SOLVED] ext3 partitions mounting as readonly

[Benedict]

Hello all,

I'm having problems mounting ext3 partitions.

I have 3 partitions on two internal sata drives. These partitions were set up in OpenSuse 10.3. I deleted OpenSuse and installed Ubuntu 8.04. I can mount the partitions but as read only.

How do I write to these partitions? What information do I need to supply so people can help me with this?

I'm fairly new to linux so please explain things very clearly.

Cheers
Benedict

You may have to just chown and chmod them.


post the output from these commands:

sudo fdisk -l

ls -l /media

cat /etc/fstab

Thanks logos34, you're correct.

I figure out how to use chown and chmod and I've fixed it.

Cheers
