Problem with usb disk - RaimundD - 6th November 2016
Hi,
I made a fresh install auf Maui 2 but have no a serious problem with my backup disk.
I have my backup data on an external usb drive but this is not recognized properly. Sometimes I get the info that I do not have the rights to open the drive. Sometimes the drive is not recognized at all.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanx
Raimund

Have you rebooted your system since the last update?
If so, then this could be a permission problem with the group or user associated with the drive.

Hmm,
i thought so, but how should it be?
Currently my directory /media looks like this:
raimund@morpheus:/media$ ls -al
insgesamt 48
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Nov 6 19:12 .
drwxrwxr-x 24 raimund network 4096 Nov 6 21:22 ..
drwx------ 4 raimund network 4096 Dez 19 2015 backup
drwxr-x---+ 4 root root 4096 Nov 6 20:55 raimund
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 6 18:42 usb -> usb0
drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Dez 19 2015 usb0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 18:42 usb1
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 18:42 usb2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 18:42 usb3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 18:42 usb4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 18:42 usb5
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 18:42 usb6
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 6 18:42 usb7
The drive should be accessable through /media/raimund/BackUp which looks very strange to me:
raimund@morpheus:/media/raimund/BackUp$ ls -al
ls: Zugriff auf 'backintime' nicht möglich: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler
insgesamt 24
drwx------ 4 raimund network 4096 Dez 19 2015 .

d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? backintime
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Dez 18 2015 lost+found

OK, when you created that backintime backup was the user name and/or group the same as you have it now?
If not, then you'll need to change it to match your current user and/or group using sudo chmod or sudo chown.
You may need to repeat this proccess for other files and/or folders on that drive as well.
