Thread: Setting "Removable" flag on an external USB hard drive

-

hi all,

reformatted external hdd ext3 ext4 (mainly because had become corrupted ... long story, , not point of thread). unfortunately, doesn't automount anymore.

eventually, after poking around , googling, learned problem because drive's "removable" flag has been set zero.

can't life of me find way edit flag. gparted has few flag options, not "removable." great google came empty. fdisk has nothing, in expert mode.

have put fstab, removable drive, , used recognized such.

hope can shed light on 1 ...

not sure what, if is, got exact problem in reverse! have 2nd hard drive being shown on desktop removeable, don't want.

little research led looking in fstab, , /etc/passwd , /etc/group files.

appears 2nd drive have in group 46, listed removeable group in group files thingy. i'd hazard guess want way (i don't, obviously).

down side. fiddling fstab didn't work, , don't suggest fiddling things don't know about. if - goodness sake, keep working up! didn't, luckily didn't before undoing all.

fstab, umask, gid on yahoo, these *seem* have bearing on this. sadly, can't offer more constructive or definitive answer that, points in right direction.

luck!
