<p>Sounds like a permissions problem. I would call chown -R

Thanks, I deserved that!-) <br>
<br>
According to another search, the problem could also be addressed by
making the user part of the adm <br>
group, I did that, or thought I did, but that doesn't seem to help.<br>
<br>
Also previously in F 11 and earlier, I could put a new disk in an
enclosure, plug it in and the utility<br>
would find it, and give the option to format, mount etc. As far as I
can tell the utility (accessed as<br>
root) no longer does that, or is there something else I am missing?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the time and attention.<br>
<br>
cheers, Paul<br>
