    Changing ownership of folder on mounted drive

    Ok...now it looks like this: UUID=<uuid> /mnt/ntfs_6tb ntfs-3g defaults, relatime, auto, uid=1000, gid=1000, umask=000, x-gvfs-show 0 2 I've obviously done something wrong, because now the drive isn't there at all after a restart.

    Changing ownership of folder on mounted drive

    So do I need to reformat the drive as NTFS 3G? Or just add that parameter to the fstab? It's a "new" drive in that it doesn't have anything on it except this one folder I created.

    Changing ownership of folder on mounted drive

    The output of ls is as follows: total 0 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jul 15 07:56 sixtb_share Where sixtb_share is the name of a folder I created. The error I get when I try to share the folder is: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net ushare add: cannot share path /mnt/ntfs_6tb/sixtb_share as...

    Changing ownership of folder on mounted drive

    Ok, I just ran that command. I get a message that ownership changed, but it doesn't appear that's actually the case, because running ls -l still shows the owner as root.

    Changing ownership of folder on mounted drive

    Hi everyone. It's me again. I have a mounted 6TB drive (you may remember from another thread). Well, I created a folder in it that I want to share. I'm logged into my ubuntu box (the latest distro) as myself, and when I try to share, I get a message that I'm not allowed to because of an...

    Is there a FAST way to "wipe" a drive?

    That doesn't work if the drive isn't mounted and you have a superblock issue. Otherwise I would.

    Is there a FAST way to "wipe" a drive?

    Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I think it's better just to scrap this drive and buy a new one.

    Is there a FAST way to "wipe" a drive?

    I tried using the Disks utility, but it won't let me format. Gives me an I/O error (I think this is related to the bad superblock thing). What about this "shred" command I've seen? Would that take a while, too? I started running dd yesterday, and it's 173 GB into the 3 TB, and has, so far...

    Is there a FAST way to "wipe" a drive?

    From my previous thread...I could never get the superblock thing fixed, so I was just going to wipe and reformat a 3 TB drive that I have. I think I got everything off of it. Anyway, I started doing a dd on it, but that seems to be taking a LONG time. So, is there a FAST way I can wipe this...

    Setting up Internal Drives?

    Yes, Ubuntu. Just a previous version (I think it was running fine on 18).

    Setting up Internal Drives?

    The 6TB one isn't (it has "nothing" on it, a new drive). The 3TB one I used on my previous Linux machine with no issues. I'm not sure on the 500GB one.

    Setting up Internal Drives?

    First, I appreciate your patience with me. Ok, so here's a little bit more. I ran: sudo hwinfo --disk --short and discovered that /dev/sdb is my 3TB drive that has data on it. /dev/sdc is my 500GB HDD that has data on it (NOT my SSD where Ubuntu resides), and /dev/sda is my 6TB drive...

    Setting up Internal Drives?

    Ok, I tried it on sdb, with the following: sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt and got the following: mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing code page or helper program, or other error.
