Hi,

I searched on google, here on forum, but no one answer, how can I write on ext4 partitions?

As root I can write!!

Here some informations:

cat /etc/fstab

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVT-75ZCT2_WD-WX20A5959889-part6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVT-75ZCT2_WD-WX20A5959889-part3 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVT-75ZCT2_WD-WX20A5959889-part8 /A ext4 defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVT-75ZCT2_WD-WX20A5959889-part5 /L ext4 defaults 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVT-75ZCT2_WD-WX20A5959889-part2 /W ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0

Thanks!!

yep, root can write anywhere…but where is your /home directory?

that is, i can’t see that you have one?

and, since normal users can only write to their home directory it
sounds to me like yours is working exactly as expected and intended…

so, your problem is not (as your subject says) that openSUSE 11.3 will
not write/read ext4, but rather that it reads and writes it fine as
root…and, i bet if your user had a /home you could read write there
also…

the default install will make a home directory, but i see you elected
to have an A, L and W instead…which, won’t work…well, it can work
but why make it so?

/home directory:

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD2500BEVT-75ZCT2_WD-WX20A5959889-part3 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1

I can write on home and tmp directories, but I want to to write on partition L, A, where is the linux/ext4 partitions with music and work files.

How ordinary users, can write anywhere, just like root, but without run Super User mode?

Here no one tell how, but its the same problem:
ext4 external USB HD - No write permission?

Ordinary users shouldn’t be able to write in every location. That’s why root is. Just give yourself permissions to those partitions. Or if you don’t like to use system with standard users privileges use vfat on them - then everyone can write on it.

Solved:

on terminal:
sudo chmod 777 /directory
