Are you running as ‘root’ when you try to write to those places? I’ll bet
not, which means you lack permission, and therefore permission is denied.
Why are you trying to write to those filesystems, and with what?
Good luck.

The items that you find there by default are owned by root and are not supposed to be edited/written except by root.
You can become root at the command line by running “su” or in a GUI by running (KDE user) “kdesu dolphin” or (Gnome user) “gnomesu nautilus”.
You can install an accessible folder in a filesystem otherwise owned by root like this example:
make the directory as a normal user command: sudo mkdir /usr/local/barack
change owner to user barack: sudo chown barack:users /usr/local/barack
You can change the ownership of a whole filesystem tree with the command for example: sudo chown -R /path_to/treeroot_folder
But if you did that on the path /usr/src for example you could easily break the installation and have to install it again so it’s a really bad idea.
I’m curious as to why you mounted sda6, 9 and 10 in those locations, it’s very unusual, why did you do that?

Are you root?
If you are not, you can not. Ask your system administrator why not >:-)
