Topic: USB Disk

Another update.

I found a tool that lets me format Upton 2tb as FAT32. I did that and it lets me mount and write to the disk. It also accepted the uid and gid parameters.

I can only think something I am doing formatting the disk as ext2 or ext3 is causing the problem.

I would recommend to get back on a ext3 filesystem.  If you use the correct uid and gid it will works. Also ext3 will allow you to use quota or to adapt permissions fir subfolders. Fat32 will not support this.

Ok thanks. I would prefer to use ext3 but I can't  see what I'm doing wrong. Everything I try the uid and gid I get the wrong FS error.

My guy feeling is I am missing a step when I created the disk but I can't work out what.
