Hi every body,
I have a SD-Card formatted with EXT4, the problem is that only root can write in it and I don’t know how to mount it so that my regular user can write in it too,
this is how I’m mounting it
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic-_Multi-Card_20090516388200000-0:0-part1 /mnt/SD-Card ext4 noatime,user,noauto,rw,data=writeback,acl,user_xattr,suid,dev,exec 0 0
and this is the mounting point
drwsrwxrwx 2 root users 4.0K Apr 8 14:04 /mnt/SD-Card
so the one million dollars question is, what am I doing wrong? or how may i fix it?
thanks in advance!

You need to set the permissions on the mount directory (/mnt/SD-Card) to allow
some other user than root to have write access. If you want ALL users to be able
to write, then ‘sudo chmod 777 /mnt/SD-Card’ will do. If you want only some
users to have access, then use ‘chown’ to change the owner group of the
directory to some special group, and then add the users you wish to have write
access to that group.
Hi lwfinger
I did that, pay attention to my first post in the second line of “code”
that folder belong to the users group and has 777 permissions and still not working

chown it to your user.
You might also consider to remove the journal to avoid excessive wear.

Hi robin_listas !
I changed the owner’s folder to my regular user now it looks like this:
4.0K drwsrwxrwx 2 jpmolinamatute users 4.0K Apr 8 14:04 SD-Card
however after mounting the SD-Card it looks like this:
4.0K drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Apr 8 14:04 SD-Card

**I just realized that.

Mmm.
In CLI, change to that folder and create a file as user (touch filename).
Also do an “ls -l”. Put the commands and the response here. Lets see if we
can see what is wrong. Ah, try also “groups”.

Ah, but you have to do it while mounted.
