How to resolve the issue of no read and write permissions for the hard drive mounted on Ubuntu?
To solve the issue of no read and write permission for the hard drive mounted in Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:
- Open the terminal and type in the following command to view the UUID or identifier of the hard drive:
- Please execute the command “sudo blkid”.
- Edit the fstab file to add read and write permissions. Use the following command to open the fstab file:
- Edit the /etc/fstab file using sudo and the nano text editor.
- Locate the corresponding disk entry and add the following line at the end, replacing
with the disk UUID found in step 1 and with the desired path to mount the disk. - UUID=
is mounted at with the ext4 file system using default options and read/write permissions. - Note: If the file system type of the hard drive is not ext4, replace ext4 with the correct file system type.
- Save and close the fstab file (press Ctrl + X, then type Y and press Enter).
- Remount the hard drive using the following command:
- Elevate by using ‘sudo’ and then mount all.
Now, you should be able to read and write to the hard drive at the mounting point.
