I have a couple of external disks that I formatted in XFS using F11, I think for data backup. Now with a new F 18 installation, when I plug<br>
in the drive, the disk icons appear on the desktop, but when I try to access them, I get an error message stating that the contents cannot be displayed due to not having the necessary permissions.<br>
<br>
A google search of the archives has not turned up anything so far.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>

If you did a fresh install most likely your UID/GID has changed. Older versions started at 500/500 while the latest versions start at 1000/1000 when users are created.<br>
<br>
If you do an "ls -l" at the top of the mount point (directory) you'll see numbers where the username and goupname are normally displayed.<br>
<br>
Simply do, as root and from the mount point<br>
<br>
chown -R username:groupname<br>

Thanks very much. Will try that.<br>
<br>
cheers, Paul<br>
