------------------------------------------------------
This is almost untouched clean Ubuntu 8.04 installation. While installing I chose the advanced partitioning option and mounted all my partitions manually. All mounted to /media/some-partition-name. I'm not talking about /boot, / & /home here.
sda 9,10 and 11 are ext3 partitions that I made with gparted livecd before installing Ubuntu (for testing other distros). These partitions have mountpoints /media/boottest, /media/roottest & /media/hometest.
I can read/write to the ntfs partitions w/o problems. The problem is that I recently found that I can't create a folder or write a file on these 3 ext3 partitions (I decided to use them for storage now, not for testing).
I checked the permissions of all the mount points in /media (including the ntfs ones) and they are all owned by root. The difference between the ext3 ones and the ntfs ones is the Group permissions (see attachments).
Before installing Ubuntu I thought that I would be having ntfs connected problems but it seems to be the opposite. Does Ubuntu mount ext3 partitions this way by default? I doubt that I have done something wrong after installation, because I haven't touched anything partition-related post-install.
I hope my English is not so bad. If you really are willing to help, I'll post any info you want.
For all you others, please don't ruine this thread with "Why do you need so much partitions?" questions.
Thanks.
