I think there is some sort of issue with the mounting of it. I did try
adding "owner" to the options, but that did not work (and gave some
other erratic results; so, I switched back.) I use fluxbox, and I
manually mount usb-drives and digital cameras. My set up in
the /etc/fstab file is:
/dev/sda1 /media/usb vfat noauto,user 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/usb2 vfat noauto,user 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/usb3 vfat noauto,user 0 0
I am
able to open files and edit them via the command line (IE, entering
"soffice file.odt" from the terminal is fine, but when I click on an
icon for these files in rox filer or emelfm to open them, I get the
"file is in use by another unknown user so read only" message).
you probably need to see what errors might be generated by rox/emelfm
when you try to open these files from within them. That may give a
clue as to what is going on. YOu could look in .xsession-errors or on
the VT you launch X from, if appropriate, but your best bet is probably
to restart rox/emelfm from a terminal so that you can capture any
output generated.
If things works as expected from the command line, then it's probably
safe to say that the mount options is not the problem. Unless rox
(haven't used it in a couple of year) is automounting the usb sticks
for you in some other location that you aren't aware of? maybe?
[...]
As always, feedback (particularly on why mounting via the command line
gives different results from mounting via a gui file manager) is always
appreciated.
well, this is confusing. Above you claim to be mounting the stick
manually, but here you claim to be mounting it through the file
manager? So, which is it? or is it both as suggested above?
